Character limit

 

This service has a 2000 character limit for every translation request. When translating documents, the service submits the content of every field and editable region as a separate unit, so the total number of characters per document is not restricted.

1. Sign up for a subscription to the Microsoft Translator on the Windows Azure Marketplace. You need to create a Windows Live ID account if you do not already have one.
