Kentico EMS required

Features described on this page require the Kentico EMS license.

Unsupported in the current version

The functionality for submitting content for translation to Microsoft Translator no longer works in this version of Kentico. If you wish to use this functionality, you need to upgrade to Kentico 12 or newer.

This service uses the Microsoft Translator Text API to translate text. Microsoft Translator offers a free subscription for up to 2 million characters per month, higher editions must be purchased.

Character limit

This service has a 5 000 character limit for every translation request. When translating pages, the service submits the content of every field and editable region as a separate unit, so the total number of characters per page is not restricted.
