Translate.execute(text,to) returns null when passed some particular text.

it always returns null when I pass the Japanese sentence shown below to execute() method with the target language as Language.ENGLISH. any idea how to solve this?

I'm not sure why Bing is returning a blank string from this translation. In the past, an empty translated string has indicated some sort of problem with the input text to be translated, though, unfortunately since no error is returned, it can be a difficult process to isolate the specific issue.

You can play with this URL to see if you can determine the cause of the issue:

http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/Translate?appId=YOUR_APP_ID&from=&to=en&text=Nobuko Katoさんは土佐の出来人【長宗我部元親】タイプです。大器晩成の四国の雄。姫若子と揶揄された中、初陣で大活躍、大転身で四国統一！実力あれどメンタルの弱さが欠点かも？あなたが戦国武将なら誰タイプ？判定してみよう！

Note that you will need to paste your APP ID into this query String.

Later in the week, I may have some more time to look at this in detail if you are unable to figure it out.

Please let me know how it goes. I will leave the issue open for now, although I do not believe it to be a bug with the Java API.

I just narrow down the problem and figured out that the small portion of the text below was causing the issue.

実力あれどメンタルの弱さが欠点かも？

So I have reported it as a bug to Microsoft through the webpage, http://www.microsofttranslator.com/

thank you for giving me a clue.
