We are working on an Android Project.Since Google Translate API was deprecated we are working with Microsoft Translator (BING). Is there a suitable wrapper for Bing on Android ?

The Microsoft Translator API is free for up to 2 million characters per month usage.

It supports the languages listed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh456380.aspx

It's a little confusing right now about how to access because they're in the midst of a transition from a Bing AppID mechanism for authentication towards an Azure Marketplace OAuth based one.

Details on signing up for the service and getting OAuth credentials are here:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/translation/p/gettingstarted1.aspx

The translator service can then be accessed via an HTTP service, or a SOAP Web Service. I haven't tried SOAP on Android, but if your tools can generate a proxy class (like VS does for C#/VB developers) that would be far and away the easiest way to access it.

Hope that helps!

Maybe Try looking at the second answer by "Chillie" here. I'm not too familiar with this, but seems like it can be set up using "SOAP". Hope that helps.
