ChatGPT is based on the GPT-3 language processing model developed by OpenAI. The service has been trained on a massive amount of text and runs on artificial intelligence and deep learning. It can be used to generate code and text, but also to perform translation tasks.
How to translate a text with ChatGPT?
It is very simple to submit a text to be translated to ChatGPT. Several solutions exist, just ask the conversational agent in a natural way or in the form of an instruction.
1. Copy and paste the text to be translated
In a single message, you can ask ChatGPT to translate into the language of your choice a text that you will copy and paste afterwards. A possible instruction is “Translate the following text into [langue cible] “.
2. Translate text previously generated by ChatGPT
If during your conversation you need to translate text generated by ChatGPT, simply ask him to translate the previous message into the desired language. “Translate the previous message into [langue cible] is, for example, a valid instruction.
3. Translate a work or content
It can be daunting to have to copy-paste a long text in ChatGPT. Note that for certain works or certain content, it is possible to request a translation by mentioning only its title. You don’t need to fill in the entire lyrics of a song, for example. “Translate the song Yellow Submarine into French” is a valid prompt.
4. Summarize in French a text in another language
ChatGPT also makes it possible to obtain in French a summary of a long text written in a foreign language. All you have to do is copy and paste the text in question and accompany it with a request such as “Summarize the text in French”. In our test, we successfully got a short summary of Martin Luther King’s famous I Have a Dream speech.
5. Choose the desired language level
When translating a text with ChatGPT, you can ask the AI to choose the language level of your choice. The instructions “Translate this text into sustained French” and “Translate this text into slang French” give very different results, with a quality of writing respecting the instructions given to the platform.
ChatGPT accepts several ways to request a translation. You can even try with a natural query, the platform should understand you and execute, which makes its use very intuitive. You can even request a summary of a text in a foreign language, or adopt a sustained or colloquial level of language to vary the style.
