Azure AI Translator
An Azure service to easily conduct machine translation with a simple REST API call.
I have created a lexicon file for the video translation but can't use it

Dear all,
I have translated a couple of videos with Azur Speech Studio but I would like to change the pronunciation of some words. So I have created a lexicon and saved it under "My files". However, when I want to use it, Azure does not offer it and I have no clue why. Does anyone have a solution for me?Best regards
Julika

It sounds like you're running into some trouble with your lexicon file for video translation in Azure Speech Studio. Here are a few things you can check to try and resolve the issue:
- Lexicon Format: Make sure that your lexicon file is in the correct format that Azure Speech Studio supports. Typically, the file should be in a standard format like
.xmlor.pls. Double-check the syntax and structure if you're using XML or JSON formats. Reference - https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/speech-synthesis-markup-pronunciation#custom-lexicon-examples - Region Availability: Region used in Video translation might be not working. Please test with another region. Please all supported locales for different speech services

Ask
Could you add a screenshot of error trace to help understand the issue better as Speech translation does not take any lexical file inputs (they are available in finetuning and content generation instead)
Could you share the locale of audios used.
Thank you.
