Match NamesName Translation

Translate names

Name translation transliterates the name of an entity (Person, Location, or Organization) between English and another language.

When you are converting from English to another language, the endpoint is optimized to convert the English version of a person’s name back to the native language of that name. For example, you can translate Vladimir Nabokov into Russian (rus) and the endpoint returns "translation": "Владимир Набоков".

By default, name translator returns the best or most likely result. Use the parameter maximumResults to return more results.
