I've been using Azure's Translator API successfully so far.
However, Korean has formal language that I want to disable when translating from English to Korean.

How can I do that?

    I know that this thread is a bit old, but here my contribution to original author's question. I think what @Hwa hyun Kim wants to know it it's possible to disable the formal form. For exemple when you translate this sentence from English to German, you'll have 2 different possibilities: EN: Thank you for using Azure!
    DE (Formal): Vielen Dank, dass Sie Azure verwenden!
    DE (Informal): Danke, dass du Azure benutzt! When I use azure translation service to do it, I always get the formal form and I didn't find a way to use the informal one. @romungi-MSFT Do you know if there is a way to have it with Azure translation service ? FYI: Deepl has it available, see here: https://support.deepl.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406432463762-About-the-formal-informal-feature
