MicorsoftMTConnector throws errors for certain strings...

Original issue 423 created by @ysavourel on 2014-11-17T18:54:53.000Z:

Is the escaping and preparation for the MT service correct?

Look through attached log for "Failed to get Microsoft Translator access token after 5 tries"

Some strings are javascript blocks. Maybe MS has checks for scripts and rejects them. But I still suspect we may need to tweak our preparation.

One thing I've noticed from working with this connector is that the error handling is not great - it often reports unrelated failures as "failed to get access token". Sometimes there's a message or code that's swallowed.

One case where I think I saw this happen was when exceeding the 10k character limit for a batch request.

M30 has improved logging to try to help capture better info about these errors.

I did some quick re-testing (M32), these calls are completing now using batchQueryText. The input looks pretty garbled/badly filtered. I'm going to close this for now -- if you are still seeing this problem, hopefully the logging will be better.
