OpenAI Launches Translate Service for ChatGPT
OpenAI has revealed ChatGPT Translate, a separate text translation service based on its proprietary bot. The enterprise enables users to take an active role in shaping "how" and "in what style" the translation will happen.
Features and Styles of Interaction
The interface consists of two text input-output fields, is automatic for areas of language detection, and allows for over 28 languages to be spoken. The main characteristic of ChatGPT Translation is that it has options for users on further processing of the translated text:
- smoother translation,
- convert it to a more professional style,
- simplify it for kids,
- for academia.
Choosing any of these options will link the user to the main interface of ChatGPT with a prompt already generated, where further customization can be done using generative AI.
Status and Limitations
At the moment the service is being tested under limited conditions. Current restrictions in capability are:
- It supports translation of text only by a computer.
- It excludes documents, websites, or handwritten text.
- Image translation, while advertised, is still not operational.
- Mobile browsers allow users to use their device microphones for voice input.
Adaptation Based on Context
The great strength of this service, according to OpenAI, lies in the fact that it adjusts translation specifically for context and audience - thus a great differentiator from more traditional translation engines.
