document translation python error

Hello Dorin Ben Haim,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you are having document translation issue with the method you’re trying to call on the SingleDocumentTranslationClient object.

The error message indicates that the document_translate method does not exist and this might be due to a typo or an incorrect method name. The method you should use is begin_translation, which is part of the DocumentTranslationClient class, not SingleDocumentTranslationClient.

This is an updated version of your code:

import os
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
from azure.ai.translation.document import DocumentTranslationClient
from azure.ai.translation.document.models import DocumentTranslationInput, TranslationTarget
def sample_single_document_translation():
    # create variables for your resource api key, document translation endpoint, and target language
    key = "<your-api-key>"
    endpoint = "<your-document-translation-endpoint>"
    target_language = "<target-language-code>"
    # initialize a new instance of the DocumentTranslationClient object to interact with the synchronous Document Translation feature
    client = DocumentTranslationClient(endpoint, AzureKeyCredential(key))
    # absolute path to your document
    file_path = "C:/your-file-path/document-translation-sample.docx"
    file_name = os.path.basename(file_path)
    print(f"File for translation: {file_name}")
    # create the translation input
    translation_input = DocumentTranslationInput(
        source_url=file_path,
        targets=[
            TranslationTarget(
                target_url=f"C:/your-file-path/translated-{file_name}",
                language=target_language
            )
        ]
    )
    # start the translation
    poller = client.begin_translation(inputs=[translation_input])
    result = poller.result()
    for document in result:
        print(f"Document status: {document.status}")
        print(f"Translated document URL: {document.translated_document_url}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
    sample_single_document_translation()

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.
