Roadmap of Greek language document translation support

Question

Roadmap of Greek language document translation support

Abdulrafiu Abdulrahim 0

Hello,

We are developing a document translation solution using the Azure AI Document Translation service in python using azure-ai-translation-document SDK.

For our use case, we require Greek (el) to be supported as a source language for document translation. Based on the general language support documentation, we understand that Greek is currently not supported for Document Translation.

Could you please confirm whether Greek support for Document Translation is planned? We would greatly appreciate any information regarding the roadmap or expected timeline for Greek language support.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards

Abdul Rafiu

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Greek is currently not supported as a source language in AI doc translation. As of now, Microsoft has not publicly announced a confirmed timeline or roadmap for adding greek language support to the document translation capability. Language additions typically depend on demand, model readiness, and service updates. The recommended approach is to monitor the official azure updates and documentation for future announcements or submit a feature request through Microsoft support or Azure feedback channels to register demand for Greek language support.

Hi Abdulrafiu Abdulrahim,

Thanks for your question, this is a valid scenario when working with document translation.

At the moment, Greek is not supported as a source language in Azure AI Document Translation. Also, there is no officially announced timeline or roadmap yet for when Greek support will be added.

So, if your solution depends on Greek input, this is likely the main reason you are not able to proceed.

Here are a few practical options you can consider:

First, check supported languages list Make sure the source language you are using is currently supported by Document Translation This helps avoid unexpected failures during processing

Second, use an alternative approach for now You can consider translating Greek text using standard text translation first, and then processing the document This works as a workaround when direct document translation is not supported

Third, validate your document input Even for supported languages, make sure your document format and encoding are valid But, in your case, the main limitation is language support itself.

Fourth, monitor updates regularly Language support gets updated over time based on demand and model improvements, So it is good to keep checking official updates and documentation for any new additions.

In short: The issue is not with your code or configuration It is due to current service limitation for Greek language.

So, the best approach is to use a workaround for now and keep an eye on future support updates.

I Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any further queries.

Thankyou!
