Question

I cannot get the Bing Spellcheck API to work for market es-us

jjim 0

I am testing the Bing spellcheck API to use it with my translation memory. I built a webpage that pulls results via the API and I can only get it to work with market en-us. However, I need to use it with market es-us (Spanish), but it will not return any results. The line of code I'm using is
fetch(${endpoint}?mkt=es-us&${new URLSearchParams(params)}, {

Any idea why it's not working? Thank you.

Hi @jjim,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

The Bing Spell Check API can check the spelling of Spanish words from different regions, like Spain and the United States. Even though the documentation only lists "es" as a supported language, it actually includes multiple Spanish variations. To specify which variation you want to use, you need to use a market code like es-ES or es-US in your code. This will help Bing provide accurate spell checking based on the specific regional rules and vocabulary.

If you set the mrk code correct, your code should help you specify different variants of Spanish.

Thank you for your answer, Khadeer. I am actually trying to use one of those variants, es-us. I used this code in my test webpage, but didn't get back any results from Microsoft. It works with the code en-us, but not with es-us. I tried also with fr-FR, but nothing. Only English.
