Adding ChatGPT and DeepL in the Translation Memory

We are testing ChatGPT and DeepL, utilizing their AI translation services, as helpers to improve the translator’s work. We have deployedDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. an update to enable them at translate.wordpress.org. This experimental feature requires an APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. key for it to be enabled and will not be visible until the keys are added (full instructions below).

We’re interested in hearing your feedback about how you’ve found this feature. We’d like users to test this functionality and if it seems like it will be useful, we’ll look into enabling it for all users and use a site-wide API key associated with wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ in the future.

When enabled, you will see the proposed translations as new rows at the bottom of the “Translation Memory”. Please keep in mind that these are just additional suggestions, and that you have to review and improve them manually before using them. But, first, you should activate one or both of the translation services. The next section explains how to enable them.

Enabling OpenAI/ChatGPT

API key

To be able to use it, you need to have an OpenAI account, and you need to create a free API key. Once you have the key, you have to add it in your translation settings.

Custom prompt

You can (and I recommend to) add a custom prompt. ChatGPT will receive these instructions in the translation query, before the glossary content for this translation and language. You can see the custom prompt I have been using to make some translation tests to Galician and to Spanish. More about the prompts below.

Temperature

The temperature is a value between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.

Other interesting information

The system is using:

  • The gpt-3.5-turbo model.
  • A maximum number of 1000 tokens.
  • n (how many completions to generate for each prompt) to 1.
  • A 20 s. timeout to query the OpenAI API.

Enabling DeepL

To be able to use it, you need to have a DeepL account, and you need to create a free API key. Once you have the key, you have to add it in your translation settings.

We always translate from EN-US – English (American). DeepL only supports these target languages:

  • BG – Bulgarian
  • CS – Czech
  • DA – Danish
  • DE – German
  • EL – Greek
  • EN-GB – English (British)
  • ES – Spanish
  • ET – Estonian
  • FI – Finnish
  • FR – French
  • HU – Hungarian
  • ID – Indonesian
  • IT – Italian
  • JA – Japanese
  • KO – Korean
  • LT – Lithuanian
  • LV – Latvian
  • NB – Norwegian (Bokmål)
  • NL – Dutch
  • PL – Polish
  • PT-BR – Portuguese (Brazilian)
  • PT-PT – Portuguese (Portugal Portuguese)
  • RO – Romanian
  • RU – Russian
  • SK – Slovak
  • SL – Slovenian
  • SV – Swedish
  • TR – Turkish
  • UK – Ukrainian
  • ZH – Chinese (simplified)

If your language is not supported by DeepL, you will not see this row.

We are using the free layer of DeepL, with a maximum of 500,000 chars translated each month. If you need to use the premium API, please, pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” us in the comments.

Disabling them

To disable one of these helpers, or both, you only have to remove the API keys.

Disabling feedback in current, reject and old stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.

It doesn’t make sense to use these external services when the translation is in one of these statuses: current, reject or old. If you want to disable the feedback in these situations, decreasing the external API usage (and cost), will have to enable the checkbox you see in the image below.

OpenAI Prompts

The OpenAI prompt showed before is an initial approach, useful for my mother languages. I think it will be very interesting to share the different prompts you will use with the different languages, so we will improve our prompts. Please, add your custom prompt in the comments.

Please, write your prompts in English, because the prompt is added to a query with the glossary parameters and other small things, so if you write your prompt in another language, the query to ChatGPT will use 2 different languages.

Polyglots Monthly Newsletter: March 2023

To subscribe to our newsletter and receive updates in your inbox, you can sign up here.

Welcome to the March 2023 edition of the Polyglots monthly newsletter, the monthly news roundup from the WordPress Polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/.!

What’s inside this edition

📢 Translate WordPress 6.2

WordPress 6.2 is expected to be released on March 28, 2023 and includes some exciting internationalization improvements. This major update contains 260 new stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.—110 of which have been marked as fuzzy (partial matches)—that are ready for translation at translate.wordpress.org. Strings for WordPress 6.1 have been moved to projects/wp/6.1.x.

Translators should see fewer untranslated strings in WordPress 6.2 as around 190 existing translations from the GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ project have been deployedDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors..

Virtual projects for patterns

To streamline the patterns translation process, each pattern now has its own project, so you can focus more on translating patterns one by one.

Note: the maximum content width has been increased from 1200px to 1600px to accommodate these additions in the sidebar area.

Syncing translations between Dev and Stable

On translate.wordpress.org, when a translation was approved in the Development part of a project, it was automatically synced to the Stable part. However, this didn’t work when a translation was rejected. With this recent update, rejecting a translation in the Stable part of the project will automatically reject the same string in the Development part of the project. 

Changes requested column and status updates

A screenshot of the WordPress 6.2 project in translate.wordpress.org showing the Changes requested column.

The table view within projects has been improved. An extra column has been added on the right side of the table called Changes requested and shows the number of strings for which changes have been requested.

Additionally, a new fix has been applied to strings in the Changes requested status. As soon as the suggested translation is adjusted and approved, the original suggestion is automatically marked as old. This means it is no longer necessary to reject a string after the suggestion has been fixed.

GlotPress 4.0.0-alpha.4

GlotPress 4.0.0-alpha.4 has been released and deployed to translate.wordpress.org. You can see the list of new features, bugs resolved, and locales added or updated.

📰 More news and resources

Did you know…?

By default, translate.wordpress.org shows 20 strings per page. Did you know that in the profile settings, this number can be adjusted to a much higher value? This can be particularly useful when reviewing a big project while working on a large screen with a good internet connection. A couple of things to remember:

  • If you’re a team working on the same project, it’s good to change this value back to 20. That way, URLs to paginated views will create fewer surprises.
  • If you have any browser add-ons that assist with forms and/or translations, these may limit how high you can go.

Here’s an optimized workflow when reviewing a large contribution:

  1. Filter your view to pending strings from one contributor.
  2. Start with the last page, particularly if you want to avoid new strings popping into view in step 4.
  3. Scan for and act on strings that need to be corrected, rejected, or changes requested.
  4. Reload the page.
  5. Select “all rows” and perform a bulk accept. (If you’re working backward, you will now land on an empty page and have to navigate to the new “last page.”)

🏆 Get Involved

Are you looking for more ways to get started? If you’re translating or want to translate WordPress and any related projects into a specific language, there are some helpful resources.

  • View the list of currently defined locales to find your language community.
  • Review your locale’s Glossary and/or style guide before you get started submitting translations.
  • Request a review of your translation through your locale’s Slack or on the Make/Polyglots blog by following these examples.
  • Does your language still not have its own support forumSupport Forum WordPress Support Forums is a place to go for help and conversations around using WordPress. Also the place to go to report issues that are caused by errors with the WordPress code and implementations.? We can help you get started on Make/Polyglots or in the polyglots channel.
  • Want to help make the Polyglots newsletter even more global? Translate this edition to share on your locale’s /team page!

Updates to language support in Openverse

Now that Openverse is available at Openverse.org, I wanted to take an opportunity to showcase how translations work, specifically related to the Rosetta sites.

Redirections and translation paths

Previously, when live at wordpress.org/openverse, Openverse would inherit the language of the Rosetta site. For example, https://es.wordpress.org/openverse displayed the Spanish translations. Now, these same translations are available at https://openverse.org/es/.

For convenience, we do redirect https://es.wordpress.org/openverse to https://openverse.org/es/.

LocaleLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ chooser

Openverse also now includes a locale dropdown in the site footer, so users are no longer constricted to the language of the site they arrive on.

WordPress 6.2 ready to be translated

WordPress 6.2, scheduled for March 28, 2023, is now ready to be translated on translate.wordpress.orgtranslate.wordpress.org The platform for contributing to the translation of WordPress core, themes and plugins.!

The new stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. are in the development projects. The strings for WordPress 6.1 have been moved to projects/wp/6.1.x.

The import of WordPress 6.2 introduced 260 new strings and 110 were marked as fuzzy, meaning a partial match was found. But around 190 existing translations from the GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ project have been copied so the remaining untranslated strings should be lower.

Happy translating! 🌏🌍🌎

Polyglots Outreach Effort: March 2023

This will be the final post in a global outreach effort to various localeLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ teams. There will be a retrospective and summary shared in the next few weeks.

The goal of this effort has been to learn more about which locale teams are active or inactive, how global Polyglots can better support other locale teams, and lessons we can share globally. 

You can read more about the effort in Starting a Polyglots Outreach Effort, and you can view outreach posts from previous months in the #polyglots-outreach tag on this site.

Locale Outreach

For this month, I’d like to reach out to the following localesLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/:

If you received a pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” from this post, that is most likely because you are listed as a GTEGeneral Translation Editor A General Translation Editor (often referred to as GTE) is a person, who has global access to validate strings on all projects for a specific locale. for one of the locales above. Hello!

I would like to learn more about your locale team: how you work, your current challenges, and any ideas you have for the future. To share this information, please answer this short survey. One or all of the GTEs from your locale team are welcome to share their answers. There is no deadline, so responses after the month ends are welcome, too! 

You can also leave a comment on this post or in the polyglots channel in the Make WordPress SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. mentioning @erica to chat one-on-one.

Team Building Resources

For this month’s team building resource, I suggest revising one of our existing Polyglots Handbook pages: How to give feedback.

Since that page was written, the discussion tool in GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. was developed. In addition to feedback best practices, this means there are also new and improved ways for where to provide feedback.

With that in mind, I’ve offered a few suggestions to streamline this page and included some basic information on the discussion tool. Edits, additions, and other suggestions are all welcome in the Google doc.

How to give feedback

I also invite everyone to share how your locale team provides feedback. It can be helpful to see similarities and differences to understand global best practices and inspire new ideas in other locale teams. 

Progress and stats

As of this post, the Polyglots outreach effort has now contacted 48 locale teams. This means that, of all locales with a previous WordPress release, only 17 haven’t been contacted. 22 GTEs have responded to these posts, and an additional four Polyglots contributors have shared feedback on their experience. (You can view all progress and stats via the Polyglots Outreach Effort Trello board.)

I’ve decided to end this effort with this post because of the response received so far. With the feedback from translation editorsTranslation Editor Translation editors can approve translations for projects. The GTE (General Translation Editor) and LM (Locale Manager) roles can add new users with the "Project Translation Editor" role that can approve translations for specific projects. There are two different Translation Editor roles: General Translation Editor and Project Translation Editor and contributors, now is a good time to pause, recap, and present my takeaways. If anyone is interested in restarting this effort in the future, you are more than welcome! I think it is always beneficial to chat with and globally share perspectives from various teams as much as possible.

Some numbers from last month: 

How to Help

Everyone is welcome to get involved in this effort! In particular, I welcome help with:

  • Outreach to the locale teams listed above. If you know any of the GTEs or contributors, leave a comment and help reach out!
  • Sharing feedback or writing team-building resources. You’re invited to share feedback on draft resources or sign up to write one of these resources for the next monthly post.
  • Writing a post for Make/Polyglots about your locale team. Many local efforts are impactful, but may not be visible to the global Polyglots community. If your team has a unique process that works well or is focused on a special project, please share! You are welcome to simply share your post on Make/Polyglots or leave a comment for help and feedback. 
  • Sharing your thoughts to help improve this outreach effort. These could be small suggestions – like changes to these monthly posts to improve outreach – or larger suggestions, like additional resource ideas or ways to engage more locale teams.
  • Anything else! If you’re unsure how best to help, just leave a comment, and we can chat to figure something out.

HelpHub and DevDocs redesign request

About four years ago, Polyglots teams began migrating user documentation from the Codex to HelpHub on RosettaRosetta The code name of the theme for the local WordPress sites (eg. bg.wordpress.org is a “Rosetta” site). All locale specific WordPress sites are referred to as “Rosetta sites.” The name was inspired from the ancient Rosetta Stone, which contained more or less the same text in three different languages. sites. Once HelpHub was launched for translations, localeLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ teams actively translating support documentation tracked it via the HelpHub Migration sheet.

One of the challenges of translating HelpHub articles via Rosetta sites was, and is, communicating updates. This is why many teams also used a Google spreadsheet to track which documents existed, which were being translated, and which were completed.

Earlier this year, the Docs and MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. teams launched a redesign of WordPress.org/Support.

With HelpHub’s redesign also comes a reclassification of user and developer documentation. The Docs team is interested in collaborating with Polyglots to better understand how teams currently handle HelpHub and DevHub translation, and sharing information on how to help test these changes in the future.

To start, the Docs team is working with three locale teams – Spanish (#es_ES), Japanese (#ja), and Serbian (#sr_RS). After this initial feedback, they’ll share more updates on the Docs team blog for how other locale teams can get involved.

Sharing some information on your team’s current progress, tools, and process will help the Docs team better understand how to approach testing for other localesLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. With all that in mind, could the teams who are translating or have translated HelpHub share the following?

  • Are you still actively translating HelpHub docs?
  • If so, how do you coordinate translations?
  • What tools do you use for translating? For example, translate in the site editorSite Editor Site Editors aka Rosetta site Editors are the users who have access to a specific Rosetta site associated with a locale. Site Editors can add General Translation Editors and appoint per project translation editors.Site Editors also have a complimentary role of a General Translation Editors even though they don't necessarily handle translations for the locale.Site Editors can create content on Rosetta sites - write blog posts, create showcase items and manage menu items. or use Google docs for feedback.
  • What tools does your locale team use to track larger projects like this? For example, Google sheets or GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ issues.

I’m adding tags for the teams that I know are translating or have translated HelpHub. If you know of any other teams that I may be missing, please let me know!
