How to Create Microsoft Azure Language Translator APIs Cognitive Service

Azure Cognitive Services are cloud-based services with REST APIs, client library SDKs, and user interfaces available to help you build cognitive intelligence into your applications. You can add cognitive features to your applications without having artificial intelligence (AI) or data science skills. Cognitive Services comprises various Al services that enable you to build cognitive solutions that can see, hear, speak, understand, and even make decisions.

Translator is a cloud-based machine translation service you can use to translate text in with a simple REST API call. The service uses modern neural machine translation technology and offers statistical machine translation technology.

Steps to Creating Microsoft Azure Language Translator:

Create a Microsoft azure account and login to the portal and click on Cognitive Services (portal.azure.com)

HURRAY!!! Your Microsoft Azure Cognitive Service Language Translator is ready.
If you want to clean up and remove a Cognitive Service subscription, you can delete the resource group but note that deleting the resource group also deletes any other resources contained in the group, so it is safer to delete the Cognitive service instead.

*PLEASE NOTE: Always remember to shut down and delete your azure virtual machine after usage because its a pay-as-you-go service. This will help you save your credit and money.
