   |-|-|
   | Name | Name of the HTTP(s) connection. |

For further information, refer to [Microsoft](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/translator/reference/v3-0-reference#virtual-network-support) documentation. |

   | Version | API version that the related spokes are built for. The default value is v3. Do not edit this value. |
   | Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region | Value of the regional translator resource. This value is optional when using a global translator resource. Note: This value is mandatory for customers using Microsoft's multi-service or regional translator resources. For information on supported regions, see the [Microsoft](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/translator/reference/v3-0-reference#authenticating-with-a-multi-service-resource) documentation. |
