This service uses the [Microsoft (Bing) Translator](http://www.bing.com/translator/) API to translate text. Microsoft Translator offers a free subscription for up to 2 million characters per month, higher editions must be purchased.

## Configuring the Microsoft Translator service

To set up the Microsoft Translator service on your website:

1. Sign up for a subscription to the Microsoft Translator on the [Windows Azure Marketplace](http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9782667). You need to create a Windows Live ID account if you do not already have one.
2. Register your website as an application on the [Azure DataMarket](https://datamarket.azure.com/developer/applications/).
