To use Azure AI Translator as the machine translation service with Easy Translator for Confluence, ensure your Confluence server can open a connection to the Azure Text Translation endpoint (for example: https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com/). You may have to adjust proxy and firewall settings to allow those requests to pass through. If you use a private endpoint in Azure, make sure your server can route to that private IP as well.
Setting up Azure AI Translator
To use Azure AI Translator as a machine translation service, you will need an active Azure subscription and a Translator resource.
