As per the below link, Microsoft Translator API accepts an array of texts that can be translated to the specified target languages.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/translator/reference/v3-0-translate

In response, Microsoft Translator API returns an array of JSON objects with translated texts.

Can someone please confirm whether Microsoft Translator API returns the translated texts in the same order as input array of texts or not?. It is not mentioned properly in the documentation.

    Hi,

    Yes I can confirm that Translator API returns translated tests in same order as input. Try this example:

    curl -X POST "https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com/translate?api-version=3.0&from=en&to=en" -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <**your-key**>"-H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region: <**your-region**>" -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" -d "[{'Text':'Hey there?'}, {'Text': 'How is your day going?'}, {'Text': 'I am fine, thank you.'}]"
