Bing translator: Can you move domains but keep community translations in place? RRS feed

    The problem is that a large website is changing domain names. We have yet to install the bing translate widget and set up the collaborative translation framework. As far as I know, this isn't possible. On the widget page you are asked for your email (microsoft ID) and website URL, and bing spits out the widget code.

    Is this possible? I want to say no but wanted to double check.

    Hi bmac84,

    Yes, you can keep community translations in place. The element that ties them together between your old domain and your new domain is a common API account. If you use the same Translator API subscription, your edits are shared between the two domains. 

    Let us know how it goes,

    Interesting, thanks for the help Chris.

    Quick add-on question: The client is a company that has control of 3 smaller entities and we want to use bing translate on each. Will there need to be three accounts, one API subscription per site?

    Thanks!

    You can use the same subscription on multiple sites.
