No alternative languages in Microsoft Translator v. 3.0 Detect JSON Response

According to the Microsoft Translator 3.0 documentation the JSON Response body for the Detect endpoint should contain the following property:

Here is an example of a Request body from the Translator Quickstart web page:

[
    { "Text": "Ich würde wirklich gern Ihr Auto um den Block fahren ein paar Mal." }
]

And here is an expected Response body:

[
    {
        "alternatives": [
            {
                "isTranslationSupported": true,
                "isTransliterationSupported": false,
                "language": "nl",
                "score": 0.92
            },
            {
                "isTranslationSupported": true,
                "isTransliterationSupported": false,
                "language": "sk",
                "score": 0.77
            }
        ],
        "isTranslationSupported": true,
        "isTransliterationSupported": false,
        "language": "de",
        "score": 1.0
    }
]

However, when I use the same Request body in my language detection endpoint, I only get one language with the score of 1.0:

import requests, uuid, json

# Add your subscription key and endpoint
subscription_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
endpoint = "https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com"

# Add your location, also known as region. The default is global.
# This is required if using a Cognitive Services resource.
location = "global"

path = '/detect'
constructed_url = endpoint + path

params = {
'api-version': '3.0'
}
constructed_url = endpoint + path

headers = {
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': subscription_key,
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region': location,
'Content-type': 'application/json',
'X-ClientTraceId': str(uuid.uuid4())
}

# You can pass more than one object in body.
body = [{
'text': 'Ich würde wirklich gern Ihr Auto um den Block fahren ein paar Mal.'
}]

request = requests.post(constructed_url, params=params, headers=headers, json=body)
response = request.json()

print(json.dumps(response, sort_keys=True, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4, separators=(',', ': ')))

[
    {
        "isTranslationSupported": true,
        "isTransliterationSupported": false,
        "language": "de",
        "score": 1.0
    }
]

Does anyone have an idea what I am missing here?

After tested, I have try to use nodejs, offical restapi, and C# language to test. Get same result. And I can debug it, find Alternatives is always null.

So I am sure offical document is not lastest.

Now the response you got is right. You can submit feedback in this page.
