Wrong Person Name Translated From Simplified Chinese to English

Question

Translation using https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com/translate?api-version=3.0 returns incorrect person name. This is the example request & response:

Request: [{"Text":"月驰王"}]

Response: [{"detectedLanguage":{"language":"zh-Hans","score":0.96},"translations":[{"text":"King of the Moon","to":"en"}]}]

Is there anyway to tell the Translator, this is person name?

@Wee Fong Lim Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

.

Azure AI Translator does not have a specific feature to indicate that a certain text is a person’s name.

.

Azure Translator does provide a feature called Custom Translator that allows you to train your own translation models. This can be particularly useful if you have specific translation needs that are not adequately addressed by the general translation model.

.

Please refer, How to Train a custom model for Translator service.

After training the model, you need to test and then publish it.

In order to use this custom trained model you can follow this article.

Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know. I would be happy to help.
