Is it ok to use locale instead of language code in the translate request? #1214

Hi,

We want to use Azure Cognitive service's Translator service. However, the requests that we would get will contain the source and target locale instead of language code. We tried a few locales and noticed that Translation service correctly identifies the language code from it. For e.g., Chinese (Cantonese,Traditional) which is locale "zh-HK" is identified as "yue" language code, Chinese(Mandarin,Simplified) which is locale "zh-CN" is identified as "zh-Hans", Chinese(Taiwanese) which is "zh-TW" locale is identified as "zh-Hant" language code.

Sample request:

$"/translate?api-version=3.0&from=en-US&to=zh-CN";

Based on these observations, we wanted to check if it is OK to rely on the Translator service to correctly identify the language code for a given locale in the translate request?

Thanks.

Hi Harsha, Though the API expects only language code, providing locale works. If you find specific locale isn’t working as expected; please revert back to us. Thanks,
