Translate text using the Bing Translate API

Instruction

Translate your texts using Microsoft's Bing Translation services HTTP API http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512419.aspx

The code is based on the one provided by Microsoft at the documentation, prepared for composer. In two lines, you can have a translation service working!

Before working with the code, get your Access Token, using your MSN account. More info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh454950.aspx

Don't get confused with the clientID. It's not the Customer ID nor your account key. The clientID is the text (possibly your app name or some plain-language text) that you specified when registering your application. You can view your client id https://datamarket.azure.com/developer/applications

There is a free data tier of 2 million characters per month. Check https://datamarket.azure.com/account/datasets if you haven't used yet your monthly limit:

include "vendor/autoload.php";

$client_id = 'abc';

//Translate to single language
$from  = 'en';
