No Trace for Translator.

Question

No Trace for Translator.

Sinead Murphy 1 Microsoft Employee

I need to confirm that the “No Trace” is also included in the 2016 office tools just like the M365 versions of the office apps.
The documentation https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/business/office/ wasn't clear.

Hello,

Translation feature of Microsoft Office is No Trace.

Azure Cognitive Services Translator is a cloud-based machine translation service and is part of the Azure Cognitive Services family of cognitive APIs for building intelligent apps. Customer data submitted for translation to Azure Cognitive Services Translator (both standard and custom models), Speech service, the Microsoft Translator Speech API, and the text translation features in Microsoft Office products are not written to persistent storage. There will be no record of the submitted text or voice, or any portion thereof, in any Microsoft data center. The audio and text will not be used for training purposes either.

Reference here:

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.

Thank you but that doesn't address my question - what versions of Microsoft Office is No Trace enacted on? My customer still is using 2016 on-premise.

@Sinead Murphy Hello, I am sorry not make things clear, the policy is not changed for different version of Microsoft Office. All of the text translation feature in Microsoft Office is No Trace.

The free Microsoft Translator end-user products for which voice clips and text translations are recorded for service improvements purposes are listed below, which is not included the feature you mentioned.

Microsoft Translator apps : http://www.aka.ms/TranslatorApps
Translator for Bing : https://www.bing.com/translator?ref=MsftMT
Microsoft Edge : https://www.microsoft.com/edge
Web Translator : http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx

Hope this solves your question, there is another resource I want to share here in case you have more questions about o365: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365/ct-p/Office365

We only use this tag for Azure translator related, for more question about o365, above forum will be a good place.

Please let us know if you still have issue about Translator, we are happy to help. Please kindly accept the answer if you feel helpful so that we can close this.

Thanks!
