@Ali Alizada The REST API uses the JSON body structure with document elements of the following format with the body.

[  
   {  
      'Text' : 'Hello, what is your name?'  
   },   
   {  
      'Text':'I am fine, thank you.'  
   }  
]

The request with the above body is as below:

curl -X POST "https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com/translate?api-version=3.0&from=en&to=zh-Hans" -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <client-secret>" -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" -d "[{'Text':'Hello, what is your name?'}, {'Text':'I am fine, thank you.'}]"

The response will be a JSON output in the same order as body.

[  
    {  
        "translations":[  
            {"text":"你好, 你叫什么名字？","to":"zh-Hans"}  
        ]  
    },  
    {  
        "translations":[  
            {"text":"我很好，谢谢你。","to":"zh-Hans"}  
        ]  
    }  
]

@romungi-MSFT I know this, but I can't translate my current Json value like as below.

{ "Alerts": [ { "ID": "50023", "Type": "Travel", "CountryCode": "DK", "CountryName": "Denmark", "CountryList": [ "DK" ], "ShortDescription": "Alert for Denmark", "Text": "\"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur i", "Date": "2022-11-03T15:33:38", "Latitude": "56.26392", "Longitude": "9.501785", "Rating": "4" } ] }

@Ali Alizada The text translator services uses content type JSON where the text elements need to be document elements as key "Text" values. In your case you are trying to translate an entire JSON which is not possible unless you pre-process your document and pass each value in your document as mentioned in above format.

Even, the document translation feature does not support the JSON format. You will have to convert your JSON doc to a txt document and pass the same to document translation service to achieve the translated output.
