Bing Translator DNS address could not be found.datamarket.accesscontrol.windows.net

We are using the bing translater api in one of our projects for performing translations. The end point we use to call the api is: http://api.microsofttranslator.com/v2/Http.svc/Translate?text=

To be able to call the API one has to authorize using the https://datamarket.accesscontrol.windows.net/v2/OAuth2-13.

Sometime in the last few days this datamarket.accesscontrol.windows.net url has become unavailable because the domain name resolution fails. Exception: System.Net.WebException Message: The remote name could not be resolved: 'datamarket.accesscontrol.windows.net'

Is anyone else affected by this and know what is going on?

The datamarket domain, and the ability to sign up via the Azure datamarket has been replaced by a regular Azure service. Visit https://portal.azure.com and sign up for the Microsoft Translator Text API to get an API key. More detailed instructions at http://aka.ms/translatorgettingstarted.
