I was inspired to post this by status message, a link to many translations of Merry Christmas.  The below code will let you use Microsoft's translation service api to translate a given text from one language to another.

/*Sign up for the Bing Translator, 2million characters/month of free translating!*/

%let client_id=<<Your Client ID>>;

%let client_secret=<<Your Client Secret>>;

%let text=Merry Christmas;

%let from=en; /*English*/

%let to=es; /*Spanish*/

Pleased to hear my status update gave you inspiration... I wasn't sure if people saw them. 🙂

Hope you have a festive season and SAS community members.

Kind Regards,

Hello FriedEgg,

I am new to proc groovy. So I just copied your script (except client_id and client_secret), and submitted it in SAS 9.4 (Win7 x64), but it complained some errors (log attached below), do you have any suggestion how to fix it?

thanks, William

Make sure you replaced the client_id and client_secret with valid values for your Microsoft account and that you signed up for the translate service.  It is a authentication error with Microsoft.

---> [error:invalid_client, error_description:ACS50012: Authentication failed.


Also, try to urlencode your id and secret for example:


%let client_id=%sysfunc(urlencode(f0wdf9sidf092i34234ijetrikje));

%let client_secret=%sysfunc(urlencode(sg092i34234=sdfs=-32r2/f/sdfw3er2039rjsfdf));

FriedEgg, you are awesome! Yes, it was a error in client_secret. After using function urlencode, it works now.

I need a little help on the code. When I executed I got the following error. Can anybody help how to resolve this? No Authentication error.

You have two distinct, but also related, issues.  Your site's security it too strict to allow this program to run.

ERROR: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

This is most likely caused by your site requiring a proxy to access the open internet.  You can do this by using the options available in PROC HTTP:


proc http

   method = "get"

   url    = "http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/ivy/ivy/2.3.0-rc1/ivy-2.3.0-rc1.jar"

   out    = ivy

   /* proxyhost="http://yourproxy.company.com" */

   ;

run;

You may also need to define a username/password for the proxy.

ERROR: PROC GROOVY is disabled when -noxcmd is specified.

This one means that your SAS installation site has purposefully disabled this PROC as well as all other statements and functions that enable OS access.  You would have to speak with your site's SAS administrator(s) about this.
