Hello.
I was able to make a 202 request using postman through endpoint https://<Name of resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/translator/text/batch/v1.0/batches but I see an empty file in the blob. When I query the Get translated status endpoint it shows the status as failed. I don't see any reason why is that. The Json body for the request was: 

{
    "inputs": [
        {
            "storageType": "file",
            "source": {
                "sourceUrl": "https://<name of resource>.blob.core.windows.net/source/S0003598X20000265a.pdf?sv=2020-04-08&st=2021-07-11&se=2021-07-12%3A39%3A57Z&sr=b&sp=r&sig="
            },
            "targets": [
                {   
                    "targetUrl": "https://<name of resource>.blob.core.windows.net/target/target.pdf?sv=2020-04-08&st=2021-07-11&se=2021-07-12&sr=c&sp=wl&sig=",
                    "language": "ar"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

sourceUrl was SAS for the document and targetUrl was SAS for the blob.

    @Abdullah Safdar Ali Does your target container contain a file called target.pdf already? If that is the case then that is the most probable cause of the failure. You could try a different target name for your file in the target container. Please ensure the required permissions are allocated to the SAS signature of your target container though.
