Interesting! How about using Deepl as a translation backend? I got some good results for translation strings with {{placeholders}} that needed to be ignored in the translations. Its api also has some neat features like formality, glossaries and context(experimental).

Ps. I'm working on a similar opensource tool to speed up the i18n process ( https://codeberg.org/garage44/expressio)

Hey!

I use DeepL for real-time translation in my side project. The reason I’m not utilizing the DeepL API on my backend and instead opting for the OpenAI API is twofold:

1. OpenAI is more cost-effective compared to DeepL API. 2. I was already using ChatGPT to translate my JSON files, so there’s no change in translation quality for me.

The primary issue I wanted to resolve is easily keeping all my destination language JSON files in sync.

Cheers!

Cool, nice product. Interesting to see that you've managed to get translations working on top of chatGPT, even for languages like Arabic! I decided not to support target language edits, because I felt it would make it much more difficult to keep languages in sync, when the source string is not always leading. How do you deal with this properly? Would love to have an automatic workflow that updates the json source file, as i18n tags are being added/removed from frontend files. For versioning; maybe just take advantage of the project's (git) versioning?
