Configuration Guide

  1. Create an Azure Account: Go to the Azure Portal and sign up or log in.
  2. Create a Translator Resource:
    • Search for "Translator" in the search bar.
    • Click "Create".
    • Select your subscription and resource group (create a new one if needed).
    • Choose a region.
    • Name your resource.
    • Select the Free F0 pricing tier.
    • Click "Review + create" and then "Create".
  3. Get your Key:
    • Once the resource is created, go to the resource page.
    • In the left menu, under "Resource Management", click "Keys and Endpoint".
    • Copy one of the keys (Key 1 or Key 2).
  4. Configure in App:
    • Open Anx Reader Translation settings.
    • Select "Microsoft Azure" as the Full Text Translation service.
    • Paste the copied key into the "API Key" field.
    • (Optional) If you are using a region-specific endpoint, you may need to configure the region if the app supports it, but usually the key is sufficient for global endpoints or the app handles it. Note: Currently, Anx Reader primarily uses the global endpoint or infers configuration.
