How to obtain a Microsoft Translator API Access Token
Microsoft used to require a Bing appID earlier. Now that the API is available through the Azure marketplace, they require a newer authentication model. There is also a quota now limiting the free translations to 2.000.000 characters per month. The process of obtaining an access token (as described in MSDN or better in MSDN blog) is as follows:
 * 1) You need a free Microsoft account
 * 2) *Sign up at http://login.live.com
 * 3) Subscribe to the Microsoft Translator API on Azure Marketplace
 * 4) *Go to https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/1899a118-d202-492c-aa16-ba21c33c06cb
 * 5) *Scroll down to 2.000.000 Characters/month and click SIGN UP
 * 6) *Register (VAT ID is optional)
 * 7) *After registration you will be asked to sign up with Microsoft Translator
 * 8) Registration of your wiki with Azure DataMarket
 * 9) *Go to https://datamarket.azure.com/developer/applications/ and click REGISTER
 * 10) **Client ID: Just choose whatever you like. Note it down!
 * 11) **Name: The name of your wiki
 * 12) **Client secret: This is already completed for you. Do not change it! Note it down!
 * 13) **Redirect URI: This field is not used by the Microsoft Translator API but you must enter something beginning with https. Suggestion is to use  https://www.yourdomain.com , where yourdomain is the domain name of your own site.
