Azure AI Document Translation SDK for Python

Client library for Azure AI Translator document translation service for batch document translation with format preservation.

Installation

bash
pip install azure-ai-translation-document

Environment Variables

bash
AZURE_DOCUMENT_TRANSLATION_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com
AZURE_DOCUMENT_TRANSLATION_KEY=<your-api-key> # If using API key
# Storage for source and target documents
AZURE_SOURCE_CONTAINER_URL=https://<storage>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>?<sas>
AZURE_TARGET_CONTAINER_URL=https://<storage>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>?<sas>

Authentication

API Key
python
import os
from azure.ai.translation.document import DocumentTranslationClient
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_DOCUMENT_TRANSLATION_ENDPOINT"]
key = os.environ["AZURE_DOCUMENT_TRANSLATION_KEY"]
client = DocumentTranslationClient(endpoint, AzureKeyCredential(key))
Entra ID (Recommended)
python
from azure.ai.translation.document import DocumentTranslationClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
client = DocumentTranslationClient(
endpoint=os.environ["AZURE_DOCUMENT_TRANSLATION_ENDPOINT"],
credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)

Disclosure and cost boundary

Translation sends documents to Azure and writes output to the selected containers. Confirm authorized document subset, destination, region, retention and budget. Keep SAS URLs out of logs, use short-lived least-privilege access and handle each document’s failure separately; overall job completion does not imply all documents succeeded. SDK/single-document methods and language/format support are version-dependent: inspect current package docs before running fragments.

Basic Document Translation

python
from azure.ai.translation.document import DocumentTranslationInput, TranslationTarget
source_url = os.environ["AZURE_SOURCE_CONTAINER_URL"]
target_url = os.environ["AZURE_TARGET_CONTAINER_URL"]
# Start translation job
poller = client.begin_translation(
inputs=[
DocumentTranslationInput(
source_url=source_url,
targets=[
TranslationTarget(
target_url=target_url,
language="es" # Translate to Spanish
)
]
)
]
)
# Wait for completion
result = poller.result()
print(f"Status: {poller.status()}")
print(f"Documents translated: {poller.details.documents_succeeded_count}")
print(f"Documents failed: {poller.details.documents_failed_count}")

Multiple Target Languages

python
poller = client.begin_translation(
inputs=[
DocumentTranslationInput(
source_url=source_url,
targets=[
TranslationTarget(target_url=target_url_es, language="es"),
TranslationTarget(target_url=target_url_fr, language="fr"),
TranslationTarget(target_url=target_url_de, language="de")
]
)
]
)

Translate Single Document

python
from azure.ai.translation.document import SingleDocumentTranslationClient
single_client = SingleDocumentTranslationClient(endpoint, AzureKeyCredential(key))
with open("document.docx", "rb") as f:
document_content = f.read()
result = single_client.translate(
body=document_content,
target_language="es",
content_type="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"
)
# Save translated document
with open("document_es.docx", "wb") as f:
f.write(result)

Check Translation Status

python
# Get all translation operations
operations = client.list_translation_statuses()
for op in operations:
print(f"Operation ID: {op.id}")
print(f"Status: {op.status}")
print(f"Created: {op.created_on}")
print(f"Total documents: {op.documents_total_count}")
print(f"Succeeded: {op.documents_succeeded_count}")
print(f"Failed: {op.documents_failed_count}")

List Document Statuses

python
# Get status of individual documents in a job
operation_id = poller.id
document_statuses = client.list_document_statuses(operation_id)
for doc in document_statuses:
print(f"Document ID: {doc.id}") # Avoid logging SAS-bearing source URLs.
print(f" Status: {doc.status}")
print(f" Translated to: {doc.translated_to}")
if doc.error:
print(f" Error: {doc.error.message}")

Cancel Translation

python
# Cancel a running translation
client.cancel_translation(operation_id)

Using Glossary

python
from azure.ai.translation.document import TranslationGlossary
poller = client.begin_translation(
inputs=[
DocumentTranslationInput(
source_url=source_url,
targets=[
TranslationTarget(
target_url=target_url,
language="es",
glossaries=[
TranslationGlossary(
glossary_url="https://<storage>.blob.core.windows.net/glossary/terms.csv?<sas>",
file_format="csv"
)
]
)
]
)
]
)

Supported Document Formats

python
# Get supported formats
formats = client.get_supported_document_formats()
for fmt in formats:
print(f"Format: {fmt.format}")
print(f" Extensions: {fmt.file_extensions}")
print(f" Content types: {fmt.content_types}")

Supported Languages

python
# Get supported languages
languages = client.get_supported_languages()
for lang in languages:
print(f"Language: {lang.name} ({lang.code})")

Async Client

python
from azure.ai.translation.document.aio import DocumentTranslationClient
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential
async def translate_documents():
async with DocumentTranslationClient(
endpoint=endpoint,
credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
) as client:
poller = await client.begin_translation(inputs=[...])
result = await poller.result()

Supported Formats

CategoryFormats
DocumentsDOCX, PDF, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, TXT, RTF
StructuredCSV, TSV, JSON, XML
LocalizationXLIFF, XLF, MHTML

Storage Requirements

  • Source and target containers must be Azure Blob Storage
  • Use SAS tokens with appropriate permissions:
  • Source: Read, List
  • Target: Write, List

Best Practices

  1. Use SAS tokens with minimal required permissions
  2. Monitor long-running operations with poller.status()
  3. Handle document-level errors by iterating document statuses
  4. Use glossaries for domain-specific terminology
  5. Separate target containers for each language
  6. Use async client for multiple concurrent jobs
  7. Check supported formats before submitting documents
