How to get alternative translations using Microsoft Translator API GetTranslations

Question

I would like to read alternative text translations for a given word using the getTranslations API. The web response status code looks OK but the response stream returns as null. Does anyone have a working example or point what's wrong with my code? Appreciate your help.

string uri = string.Format("https://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Http.svc/GetTranslation?         
text=Origin&from=es&to=de&maxTranslations=10");
WebRequest translationWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(uri);
                translationWebRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", 
                 tokenProvider.GetAccessToken());
WebResponse response = null;
response = translationWebRequest.GetResponse();
Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();

Answer 1

Use the new Microsoft Translator Text API v3 which includes a multi-lingual dictionary API. The v2 to v3 migration documentation is at www.aka.ms/Translatorv3Migration .

Thank you.

Answer 2

v3 is REST and JSON only. Dictionary documentation is in the v3 documentation .
