Export credential

Create .env file in the root directory, then export the credential that needed for this app. The .env file contains few credential and configuration like this:

• You can get the MS_TRANSLATOR_KEY in your Azure account, you can find it here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/
• Note: If you don't have the account and try to create one, you will need to provide your credit card, but Microsoft offering has an entry level option for low volume of translations that is free.
