Argument ExceptionMethod: Translate()Parameter: Message: The received token is of incorrect token type

Question

I am calling the Microsoft Translation API in R using the "translateR" package in R.

This is the code:

translated_tweets <- translateR::translate(dataset = Tweets,
                                             content.field = 'text', 
                                             microsoft.api.key  = "XXX",
                                             target.lang = 'en',
                                            source.lang = "am",
                                            microsoft.token = TRUE)

The code works. However, when I look at the results, the new column "translatedContents" is showing this error message:

Argument ExceptionMethod: Translate()Parameter: Message: The received token is of incorrect token type

Answer 1

@Gretha Victoria Walther Based on the TranslateR official documentation page the arguments for microsoft translation API seem to be the following:

microsoft.client.id  
microsoft.client.secret  

Could you try updating the arguments and check if this is the issue?

Also, could you try calling the Azure translation API through a rest call and check if the passed keys are correct?
