Microsoft Translate: Microsoft secret

[dwl-sdca]

I don't understand this process. I've used Microsoft translate from the web. Please provide further guidance on your Quick Start Guide about how to format a proper Language Parameter for Microsoft Translate. I am completely naive about the function of "secret" and couldn't find an explanation after a search of the web.

I'm completely without any experience with the programming involved in this plugin. Thus, what I'm about to suggest may be impossibly difficult or impossible. Could you set a PDF Translate service where the user enters the 2-letter ISO code for the source language and the code for the target language and automatically generate the language parameter string?

Thanks, a nice tool. I think maybe use the word "key" like in the step 5 would make it easier to understand.

The error is as follows： https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com/translate?api-version=3.0&to=zh-CN failed with status code 401
