Azure AI Translator - Alternative to Dynamic dictionary in Text Translation

Marie Douriez 0

Hi Azure team,

We'd like to customize some translations with Text Translation.

The Dynamic dictionary is fairly heavy to use (need to modify strings to translate) and restrictive (English only) - is there something more flexible we could use?
Will Text Translation also support glossaries (available for Document Translation)? (cf DeepL glossary)
Note that we don't want to use Custom Translator.

Thanks!

Hi Marie Douriez

The Azure AI Translator does not currently offer an alternative to the Dynamic Dictionary that provides more flexibility while also allowing for customization of translations in a broader context. The Dynamic Dictionary is specifically designed for customizing translations for specific terms or phrases but is limited to English and another supported language.

As for glossaries, they are supported in the Azure Document Translation service, but there is no mention of their availability for Text Translation in the provided context. Therefore, if you are looking for glossary support similar to what DeepL offers, it appears that this feature is not currently available in the Text Translation service.
