This is a supported release.  It fixes several errors in v2.1.2 and adds several features.

It makes it simple to translate Modern pages such as the ones in Communication and Teams sites and those produced by the Multilingual Page Publishing feature, as well as classic pages, documents, lists, and metadata.  It has several interfaces, including via a SharePoint App, a web interface, scripting, and Power Automate.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

All of our PowerShell scripts have switched from the legacy SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline module, which stopped being maintained two years ago, to the new PnP.PowerShell module.  This may require global admin consent.

New Features

• Can configure to use Azure Document Translation API if PointFire Translator Server is not configured. This requires creating Azure Blob Storage folders
• Improved error message "Failed to translate, please check the values of app config setting." to say what had failed when known, for example 403 or wrong API key
• Additional validity check when configuring to use Custom Translator
• Major scripts now can support either "useWebLogin" or "Interactive" authentication. "UserAuthentication.ps1" can set an environment variable to override default.
• When some translations successful and others failed, it says how many.
