2023-05-03MC How AffectBy the beginning of July 2023, Microsoft will start switching off the Office service that was supporting The Modern Translator translation requests in Microsoft 365, Microsoft Office 2019, and Microsoft Office LSTC 2021 after which the Modern Translator feature will stop working for you. This does not impact the Azure Cognition Translation Services.At start of October 2023, Microsoft will start switching off the existing middle tier service supporting Translation in M365 which will result in Translation failures unless specific action is taken.
