Customizing User-Agent string when using curl or Python requests

The Linux tool cURL and the Python requests library can both be used to submit GET requests to REST API endpoints. On some sites, however, you will get 403 Forbidden or 401 Unauthorized errors unless you change your User-Agent string to something other than "curl" and "python requests". As of July 2017, I have had good results by changing my User-Agent string to "Mozilla/5.0".

For curl, the option to change the user agent string is -A or --user-agent

For Python requests, you can add the user-agent string to the headers argument in your get request:

response = requests.get("https://api.coinone.co.kr/orderbook?currency=eth", headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0})

OmegaT 4.1.1 settings for MS Translator under MS Azure

MS Translator used to be available through the Azure Apps Marketplace, but after April 2017 MS Translator is offered as part of Microsoft's Cognitive Services API.

In the past, using OmegaT with MS Translator required you to specify a client id and client secret. The corresponding variables are:

microsoft.api.client_id
microsoft.api.client_secret

With the move to MS Cognitive Services, OmegaT has a new variable which must be passed to the MS Translator API:

microsoft.api.subscription_key

From the Azure Dashboard, select your MS Translator app and then select Keys. You will see your app name and two keys. You must enter one of these keys into the variable microsoft.api.subscription_key for OmegaT to authenticate with MS Translator.

Here is my OmegaT 4.1.1 launch script on Linux:

#!/bin/bash
# Launch Script for OmegaT CAT tool
# GOOGTRANS and MSTRANS represent the API
# keys for Google Translate API v2 and
# Microsoft Translator, respectively
