Thank you for the report, WholisticApproaches!
And thank you for the information about alternate translation services.
What just happened?
Greetings, the SL wiki Viewerhelp:Translation Settings mentions an Application ID, but all applications using the Bing AppID authentication method stopped working in April 2021.

https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewerhelp:Translation_Settings
What were you doing when it happened?
Tried to create a Bing Translation API, to use the translation built-into Firestorm, but I couldn't find any "Bing AppID".
What were you expecting to happen instead?
To find a "Bing AppID" as per the now outdated authentication method on Firestorm, which is the same on the SL Viewer still. (realized after the fact that the Bing AppID is depreciated now)
Other information
There is an alternative to the Bing and Google Translators, one I've been using called DeepL. https://deepl.com/pro-api
A person could sign up for free for that, though the SL Viewer Developers would still have to add an option to add a DeepL API.
Also I was able to create a Google Cloud Translation API, and added it to Firestorm for SL, so at least that works, although there is limited languages available to translate into, and using the viewer translation eliminates extra chat messages from a scripted object/HUD Translator. Although I would prefer to use the Microsoft Azure or DeepL Translator API's, when the viewer is able to handle them again.

Thank you.
