I’ve just added an experimental feature for premium subscribers allowing you to swap out Google Translate for ChatGPT provided translations. The big advantage is that these translations are aware of the surrounding context. You can enable it from the Settings page here:
They seem to work pretty well in my testing so far. There is slightly more delay compared to Google Translate. Please give them a try and let me know if they work well for you or not!
That’s great, I think it’s a big step up! I tried it out but I didn’t notice that it was slower, it felt the same as Google translate. A much needed feature, I never could trust the Google translation and I end up relying on the explanation feature because it’s so much better.
What happens with the words that are already saved from Google translate? I imagine id need to delete them and start over to have the gpt translation saved.
Great job!
Edit: After further use I decided it’s better in just about every way. I have noticed no lag/delay and it’s far more accurate. I think it’s a must stay in my opinion. Even if some users experience lag or delay I think it’s worth implementing and trying to smoothen it over time but so far no issues at all.
Awesome!, I’ve just tried it and it works great. Agree with @Marsel_Basholli that it’s better in every way.
I did not notice any delay compared to the business-as-usual. And the translations are indeed much much better.
Only comment / suggestion I would add is:
As a long-standing fan of the browser extension and Android bookmarklet, I would love to also reap the benefits of this, using those very convenient interfaces.
I understand that accommodating the whole explanation in the purposedly minimalist UI of the browser extension may be tricky (although it’d be ever cooler!!!), but if under the wood it can operate based on the context-aware translations, that would be really cool.
Thanks for the feedback! Great to hear that this is working well for you both!
The bookmarklet will now give context-aware translations. I’m working on the Chrome Extension and the new translations should be available there too within the next couple of days.
