How do I change to the Global endpoint for a Translator?

Hello. I'll begin by saying I'm not a developer. I've created a Translator API to plug into a 3rd party translation application. I was not able to select the "global" region when creating the API, and therefore the text translation API points to https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com/. This would require the application to include "eastus" in the code. Because it only asks for an API key, the API would need to point to api-nam.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com.

How do I change the endpoint for text translation to point to api-nam.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com?

Thank you.

    Thank you much. I created a new resource and was indeed able to choose Global, which solved the 3rd party problem. Appreciate the guidance.

    @Lesli Woodruff Thanks for the question. The Resource Region you can Choose Global unless your business or application requires a specific region.
    Use the Global endpoint in your API request unless you need a specific Azure region or custom endpoint. Here is an example of using the global/ custom endpoint and a link to the quickstart sample using SDK.
