/AWS1/CL_XL8=>TRANSLATEDOCUMENT()

About TranslateDocument

Translates the input document from the source language to the target language. This synchronous operation supports text, HTML, or Word documents as the input document. TranslateDocument supports translations from English to any supported language, and from any supported language to English. Therefore, specify either the source language code or the target language code as “en” (English).

If you set the Formality parameter, the request will fail if the target language does not support formality. For a list of target languages that support formality, see Setting formality.
