Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

The Free (F0) tier of Azure Translator does not support the Document Translation feature. This functionality is only available in the paid tiers, specifically the Standard S1 or D3 Volume Discount plans. Additionally, Document Translation is supported only in the single-service Translator resource, not in multi-service Azure AI resources.

Document Translation is only supported in the single-service Translator resource. If you’ve created a multi-service Azure AI services resource, the Document Translation capability will not be exposed. Confirm that you’re using the correct resource type.

Document Translation is not available in all regions. For example, East Asia is not currently supported, which may explain why you're not seeing the endpoint. Supported regions include East US, East US 2, West US 2, among others. You'll need to create the Translator resource in one of these regions to access the feature.

Please refer to the Supported regions.

The Free (F0) tier does not support Document Translation. You must choose either the S1 Standard Service Plan or the D3 Volume Discount Plan when creating the resource.

Document Translation requires a system-assigned managed identity on your Translator resource. This identity should also be granted the "Storage Blob Data Contributor" role to enable access to Azure Blob Storage, which is often used for document input and output.

If you plan to translate documents stored in the cloud, ensure that you have a properly configured Azure Blob Storage account, as it's a prerequisite for document translation workflows.
