You don't need to put quotes around the word Bearer and the other stuff you added, just the word

Bearer

followed by a space and then the token. No need for anything else.

When you use the appid then the token is part of the query string. If you use Authorization then the token is part of the header.

To try out the method on the doc.microsofttranslator.com site, just put; Bearer and token in the appid.

Taken from the documentation of the API:

REQUIRED. If the Authorization header is used, leave the appid field empty else specify a string containing "Bearer" + " " + access token.

So for your value for appId, you want to do the following:

  1. Follow the instructions at http://docs.microsofttranslator.com/oauth-token.html to obtain a 10 minute authentication token. For this you need to use the Cognitive Services API key you generate within our azure subscription
  2. The value for appId should be the "Bearer"+[ token you got from step 1]
