Tactical Translation Configuration
ICE supports translation in Tactical Mode via a connection to Linguistic Services through a Rallypoint configured in an ICE Agent. However, because Tactical units have no connection to the ICE Server, an access point to the Translation Provider must be manually created.
Note: The profanity filter option is only available when using an Azure service, and does not depend on the Instant Connect agent. The Profanity Filter is provided by Microsoft, and Microsoft reserves the right to suppress speech it deems inappropriate even when the filter is off.
