Product: Product Manager

You may want to utilize the translation tools within Product Manager to make it easier for you to manage multiple languages. Use the following steps to set up the translation service. Once it’s set up, you’ll be able to do translations with the click of a button for descriptions, attributes and variants.

Note there are two parts to the setup. First you have to do the setup in Microsoft Azure and then you have to finish the setup in Foundry.


Azure Setup

1. Log into your Azure account.

2. If you don’t already have a subscription set up, you will want to create one. Click here to see how to create one for free.

3. Navigate to Cognitive Services.

4. Under the Language section, locate Translator and click the + Create button. That opens the Create Translator screen:

5. Fill in the following fields:

or click Create New to create one.

Region

Choose Global unless your business or application requires a specific region. Translator is a non-regional service—there is no dependency on a specific Azure region.

1. Click your name in the top right > Settings > Tenant

2. Click Services, scroll down and you should see the Secret Key box:

3. Paste in the information you saved from Azure.
