Machine translation - Microsoft Translator

Kentico EMS required

Features described on this page require the Kentico EMS license.

This service uses the Microsoft Translator Text API to translate text. Microsoft Translator offers a free subscription for up to 2 million characters per month, higher editions must be purchased.

Character limit

This service has a 5 000 character limit for every translation request. When translating pages, the service submits the content of every field and editable region as a separate unit, so the total number of characters per page is not restricted.
