Microsoft translation service cannot correctly translate number and text combination like "1 Yes" "2 No"

Ruth Jiateng Xu 0

Hi,

I tried to use MS translation service, and I found it cannot correctly translate number and text combination like "1 Yes" "2 No", the same result will be returned for different two strings.

For example:

1 Yes

2 No

Will be translated the following in Hungarian:

1 Nem

2 Nem

In Dutch:

1 Nee

2 Nee

In Ukrainian:

1 Ні

2 Ні

Hi @Ruth Jiateng Xu ,

Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A.
I believe this is an expected result as per the design or model behind the Azure Translator service. The Azure Translator may not be able to translate individual numbers like "1" and "2" because they are not considered separate words in the text. However, if you write the numbers as words with a comma in between, it should be able to translate them correctly. For example, you can write "One, Yes" and "Two, No" instead of "1 Yes" and "2 No".

I would recommend to pre-process sentences that contain such words to replace them with a comma to ensure the translated sentence is accurate in the target language.

Hi @Ruth Jiateng Xu ,

We haven’t heard from you on the last response and was just checking back to see if you have tried suggestions from my prior comment.

Thank you!
