A Laravel package to create a base translation file, and translate it to any language with ChatGPT API

GPT-Translate for Laravel

gpt-translate is a package for Laravel that allows you to generate a translation file based on translation strings found throughout your application. You can call these strings using __(), @lang(), $t(), or trans(), and they can be located in php, js, ts, tsx, or vue files.

Furthermore, gpt-translate enables you to translate your base language file, whether you previously had it or generated it using the package, to other languages using the ChatGPT API. Supported languages for translation include English, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finish, Dutch, Polish, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.

Getting Started

Installation
Add the following to your composer.json file:

{
    "repositories": [
        "gpt-translate": {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "https://github.com/techlove/gpt-translate.git"
        }
    ]
}

Then install the package using composer:

composer require techlove/gpt-translate

Add Service Provider Add the following to your config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    ...
    Techlove\GptTranslate\TranslateProvider::class,
    ...
],

Publish the Configuration File
You need to publish the openai.php configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish

Environment Configuration
Add the OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_ORGANIZATION variables to your .env file with the details from your OpenAI account.

Fetch All Translatable and Translate As shown, this command extracts all translatable strings into a lang/en.json, then translate them using ChatGPT into a new file lang/sv.json. These values are used as default and can therefor be left out of the command:

php aritsan translate:extract --origin=en --lang=sv --model=gpt-3.5-turbo --path=resources/lang

Generate Base Translation File
If you don’t already have a base translation file, generate it using:

php artisan translate:make --lang=en --path=resources/lang

As shown, this command creates a lang/en.json in your root folder. If your application is in another language, pass the appropriate lang parameter, e.g., for Swedish:

php artisan translate:make --lang=sv --path=resources/lang

Translate with ChatGPT
After having your base translation file, whether generated by the package or otherwise, run the translation command for ChatGPT to do the translation, e.g.:

php artisan translate:lang --origin=en --lang=sv --path=resources/lang

This translates the original en.json to Swedish and creates a new sv.json file.

Provide Context (Optional)
For more accurate translations, briefly describe the context of your application’s purpose. This helps ChatGPT better understand and translate the text. Use the context parameter:

php artisan translate:lang --origin=en --lang=sv --context="a pet product sales application" --path=resources/lang

Specify the Model (Optional)
By default, the package uses GPT-3.5. If desired, specify any other OpenAI model compatible with the Chat API:

php artisan translate:lang --origin=en --lang=sv --model=gpt-4 --path=resources/lang

Conclusion

Leverage the power of ChatGPT and the flexibility of gpt-translate to localize your Laravel application effectively and efficiently.
