Hi Govardhan,

Could this be related to

Would you take a look? Thanks. Takako (Microsoft Translator Team)

What is your contentType set to?

It should be text/html or text/plain

If using text/html, the html should be well-formed.

I see you are using a function Microsoft.translation.translate() -- where does this come from? What is the library you are using? Can you send me a copy of that?
