I am trying to use the Bing Translation API, but I am confused. There seems to be much possibilities (old and new ones) but I don't understand what I have to do.

Can someone please help me?

I want to send a HTTP Request like http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V2/Ajax.svc/Translate?appId=<AppId>&to=de&text=World and get the translation. Where to get the AppId?

What I have done so far:

  1. Signed in for the free API useage (https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/bing/microsofttranslator)
  2. Created an App: https://datamarket.azure.com/developer/applications

Now I have the Client_ID and Client_Secret and also I have a account key (visible here https://datamarket.azure.com/account)

What to do now?

Thanks a lot or any help!
