Question

I am using  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/gg521144(v=vs.92).aspx this translator library to develop my WP7 app . I got client id and client key for my app . This library uses old appid method and ask us to store the samein the TextToSpeechID and TextTranslateID value fields of theStrings.resx file . Now what should i give in those two fields either client id or client key.Please help me out to solve this asap. Thanks in advance .

Answer 1

Hi Madhwesh,

you may use an Azure access token as the value of the appid parameter. Simply add the code to obtain a new access token every 10 minutes, and then pass it in the translate call as the appid.

The sample here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh454950.aspx includes the method for obtaining the access token based on your client ID and client secret.

Let us know if this helps,

Answer 2

The old appid method has been deprecated, so a rewrite of the access code to use the Windows Azure Marketplace authentication would be needed if you are going to use the starter kit.

Alternatively, there's a step-by-step tutorial of how to do a Windows Phone 7 app using Microsoft Translator here:
