Question

I’m trying to make Microsoft translator API in my java (windows form) application. I registered in windows azure market place and I registered my Microsoft Translate application so I have these ClientId and Client Secret keys but still it doesn’t work. I can’t find what I am doing wrong.

Here is my code:

import com.memetix.mst.language.Language;
import com.memetix.mst.translate.Translate

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    try{
        Translate.setClientId(/* my Client Id */);
        Translate.setClientSecret(/* my Client Secret */);

        String translatedText = Translate.execute("Bonjour le monde", Language.FRENCH, Language.ENGLISH);

        System.out.println(translatedText);
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
        System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

}

And this is the error I’m getting:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/memetix/mst/translate/Translate
    at Main.main(Main.java:9)

You should have that Microsoft’s Translation Library on the Classpath for Linux/Solaris.

If this is a standalone program, you could try out the following command:

java -classpath "%classpath%;.;<path_to_the_translation_library.jar>" Main

This <path_to_the_translation_library.jar> should be the same Library or JAR you used to compile this Main class.
