  Hi Clovis,

  Have you had a chance to look the following sites?  The sample codes provided there should work for you.

  Let me know how it goes.

  Thanks.  Takako (Microsoft Translator Team)

  I also have the same problem, but the documents listed above don't give the answer.  The error message is that the token is lacking a signature at the end but the references given don't refer to a signature.  At the end of the token, shouldn't the GET url simply continue with "&" on to the next parameter?  What is a "signature"?

  Hi Skylang and Clovis,

  The sites below discuss a "signature" issue.  Take a look.  Hope that you can find a solution there.  Let us know how it goes.  Takako

  Take a look at the code I posted in these threads:

  Some Code Samples:
   
  C# Asynchronous and Synchronous examples in here:

  And VB on this thread:

  I have verified that these are working for the service...see if you are doing anything different?

  So can it only be accessed by POST, not GET?

  For GET, try this:
  

  string headerValue = "Bearer " + token.access_token;

  string uri = "http://api.microsofttranslator.com/v2/Http.svc/Translate?appid= " + System.Net.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(headerValue) + "&text=" + System.Net.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(strTextToTranslate) + "&from=en&to=es";
  

  
  

  Note that I System.Net.HttpUtility.UrlEncode the header Value containing the Bearer.

  I've tried this on the Ajax.svc and it worked...haven't had time to rebuild my app to see if that works with the Http service, because I usually POST with that...
