Translate Documents with SAP API Business Hub

Follow the link to the SAP API Business Hub.

The SAP API Business Hub offers a test facility for APIs. In order to take advantage of this, you need to log on.

Select Log On at the top of the page.

Search for document translation to find the Document Translation API and select the Document Translation API.

The Document Translation API detail page shows the two available APIs.

Take a minute to explore both APIs.

The service doesn’t offer a sandbox system out of the box, so you have to connect your SAP Business Technology Platform trial account to the SAP API Business Hub.

1. Select the gear wheel symbol to open the Configure Environments screen.

   

2. In the Configure Environment screen, enter the display name for the environments: trial

   

3. For client ID and client secret, take the information from the Document Translation credentials as described in Create Service Instance for Document Translation

   

4. For subaccount, take the information from your SAP Business Technology Platform cockpit. For example, on the screen-shot below, the sub-account is f2b0bceetrial.

   

   Enter your value in SAP Business API Hub.

   

5. Save your settings for future sessions.

   

   Confirm that you want to proceed with the save.

   

Now that your API environment is maintained, you will see the trial entry.

Select Synchronous document translation and click Try out. Please note that the button is only active if you are logged on.
