Activity Tracker events for Language Translator

IBM is announcing the deprecation of the IBM Watson® Language Translator service for IBM Cloud® in all regions. As of 10 June 2023, the Language Translator tile will be removed from the IBM Cloud Platform for new customers; only existing customers will be able to access the product. As of 10 June 2024, the service will reach its End of Support date. As of 10 December 2024, the service will be withdrawn entirely and will no longer be available to any customers.

You can use the IBM Cloud® Activity Tracker service to track how users and applications interact with Language Translator in IBM Cloud®.

IBM Cloud Activity Tracker records user-initiated activities that change the state of a service in IBM Cloud. You can use this service to investigate abnormal activity and critical actions and to comply with regulatory audit requirements. In addition, you can be alerted about actions as they happen. The events that are collected comply with the Cloud Auditing Data Federation (CADF) standard. For more information, see the tutorial Getting started with IBM Cloud Activity Tracker.

Viewing events

Events that are generated by an instance of the Language Translator service are automatically forwarded to the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker service instance that is available in the same location.

IBM Cloud Activity Tracker can have only one instance per location. To view events, you must access the web UI of the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker service in the same location where your service instance is available. For more information, see Navigating to the UI.
