Hebrew speech translation to text using Azure Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech

Hi sonra320,

I know this is an old question but adding an answer to help others who might have the same question. 

Short answer: pick the region closest to where you are, or where your end-users are.

Long answer: When creating an Azure resource (for Speech or anything else), one of the mandatory settings is location. This refers to the cloud region where you want the resource to be created and used.

There are two things to consider here:

1. Usually, you specify the location closest to where the service will be used (e.g. where you are or your future users if developing for someone else to use). 
2. If the service you want to use is very new, it may only be available in certain locations, (e.g., some speech services are only in West US location right now)

I have checked and Hebrew is on the supported languages list for the Speech service, which includes a translation API https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/language-support#speech-translation and also on the list for other services https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/business/languages/ that you might find useful.

For those who are finding there are several locations close to them and not sure which one to choose, this is the handy guide https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/geographies/#overview, select a geography and it will show you the best options.
