Translator++ Ver. 5.6.30 – Actor Reference and Max Concurrent Request

June 30, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello fellow translators,

Hey everyone, I hope you’re having a great month. I’m here to share some updates on what I’ve been working on for the UI worksheet and the Open-AI-chat and OpenAI-Text Completion add-ons.

Actor Reference

You know how in most RPGs and visual novels, the characters have their own name boxes when they speak? Well, I’m excited to announce that you can now do the same thing with this new feature. You can display the actor’s name next to their dialogue as a reference.

Actors’ name are now visible

And yes, you can also translate the actor’s name.

Max Concurrent Request and Max row per Concurrent Request

Usually, when we use machine translation, we input a chunk of text that is split into several segments by a separator. This works well for most MTLs like Google, DeepL, and others. But ChatGPT is different. It’s an AI, not a machine translator. And sometimes, it does weird things like deleting some lines that it thinks are part of the same sentence, or repeating itself. This messes up the format of the translation and causes problems for the post-processing parser.

Option for Max Concurrent Request and Max row per Concurrent Request

By configuring the max row per concurrent request parameter. translations can be processed in the queue, thus avoiding the parsing errors that often occur during the translation process. But be careful, this might slow down the speed of the translation. That’s why I also added the “Max concurrent request” option, so you can choose how many translations to send at the same time to the OpenAI backend server. This way, you can balance between efficiency and accuracy.
