💬Translate Markdown into Any Languages with AI

🌎 Markdown Translation BOT

This GitHub action translates your markdown files into multiple languages using the GPT-3.5 model.

⚠️Warning

The OpenAI API is currently not available for free. You need an API Key issued with a paid account to use this workflow.

🧐 Current Status

• The action supports translating markdown files only.

• The command can be executed exclusively by individuals with write permissions to the repository.

These limitations prevent API abuse by non-trusted parties.

🔧 Setup

Repository Settings

1. Settings > Actions > General

• Enable Read and write permissions
• Enable Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests

2. Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions

• Set your API key(OPENAI_API_KEY) to secrets

GitHub Actions Workflow Settings

Required

• Provide the OPENAI_API_KEY as apiKey.
• Set on to trigger when a comment is created (types: [ created ]).
• Checkout in advance(actions/checkout@v3).

Recommended (To minimize unnecessary run time)

• Configure if to run only when /gpt-translate or /gt is present in the comment.

👇 Here is a minimal workflow example:

# .github/workflows/gpt-translate.yml
name: GPT Translate

on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [ created ]

jobs:
  gpt_translate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Run GPT Translate
        if: |
          contains(github.event.comment.body, '/gpt-translate') || 
          contains(github.event.comment.body, '/gt')
        uses: 3ru/[email protected]
        with:
          apikey: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}

💡 Usage

/gpt-translate [input filepath] [output filepath] [target language] 

You can use /gt as a shorthand for /gpt-translate.

1.Create a comment with /gpt-translate or /gt in an issue or pull request.

2.【On issue】Translated files will be created as a pull request.

2.【On pull request】Translated files will be added to the pull request with new commit.

In other words, if you keep commenting on an issue, new PRs will continuously be created. If you keep commenting on a PR, new commits will continuously be added to that PR.

📝 Example

/gpt-translate README.md zh-TW/README.md traditional-chinese

Translate README.md into traditional Chinese and place it under the zh-TW directory.

v1.1 Multiple file support

You can now translate multiple files at once by specifying a wildcard in the input file path.

Here is a sample

/gpt-translate *.md *.ja.md Japanese

If A.md and B.md are in the root directory, the output will be A.ja.md and B.ja.md. The file names are inherited from the input files. I am considering outputting the file with an arbitrary file name, but if you have a smart idea, please suggest it through the issue!
