Using Data market translation fails for few languages

Hi,

Using the newer sdk provided for the data market API, for some languages following error is thrown -

Url:

https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/MicrosoftTranslator/Translate()?Text='How%20are%20you'&To='ms'&From='en'

Error:

Parameter: To has an invalid pattern of characters

Trying exactly the same for french works. MS is a documented iso name for Malay. I noticed a few queries for other languages, but none have resolutions. Any ideas on what could change? Trying from browser for the above url also fails with same error.

Hi Rajasekar,

try leaving out the quotes, and make sure your input is properly Urlencoded.

Other developer interfaces are documented on http://api.microsofttranslator.com.

Hi,

I'm getting the exact same issue with Welsh (Code 'cy') which was launched a week or too ago. Is this not working correctly yet?

Spanish Url works fine:

https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/MicrosoftTranslator/Translate()?Text=%27How%20are%20you%27&To=%27es%27&From=%27en%27

Welsh Url gets the error: Parameter: To has an invalid pattern of characters

https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/MicrosoftTranslator/Translate()?Text=%27How%20are%20you%27&To=%27cy%27&From=%27en%27

Thanks,
