Hello all,

I've just tried to go from Google translation to Microsoft translation in order to, from an excel document, translate a lot of cells automatically to several languages.

I had it working before with Google, but now it looks like they've just removed the "free" from that service... :(

Trying to get Microsoft translator to work is not being easy...

What I've done till now:

1. Visit datamarket.azure.com to get a free subscription.
2. Register the application Microsoft Translator to your app.
3. See that the application is registered correctly to the 2000 words free service.
4. Get a copy of the vba macro stored in this place: https://sysmod.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/microsoft-translator-vba-code-sample/[^]
5. Insert that macro in the excel file I want to start automatic translations.
6. Call the MicrosoftTranslate function from excel.
7. receive an error that is supposedly a bad security token, but I'm sure that no special characters are in any of the parts of the token and that it is correctly copied from the web...

Could anyone here help somehow?

Another option I've thought of is to simply pay google to activate the service again, but I must be more stupid than what I thought, but I don't know where I have to pay and how to speak to anyone there which could guide me... That would be another thing that could help... Anyone here is using that pay service and can give me some pointers?

I know this is very generic and not a good question at all, I'm searching for initial advice and pointers on how to get this done...

Thank you all in advance!
