README
# AI Translate
This is a small, simple, utility that parses an Xcode `.xcstrings` file, asks ChatGPT to translate each entry, and then saves the results back in the `xcstrings` JSON format.
This tool is hardcoded to use ChatGPT-4. While ChatGPT3.5 is significantly less expensive, it does not provide satisfactory results. Selecting a model via a command-line flag has been deliberately omitted for this reason, thus ensuring this tool does not contribute to a proliferation of poor translations in apps on Apple platforms.
Please note that is **very strongly** recommend to have translations tested by a qualified human as even ChatGPT-4 will almost certainly not produce perfect results.
## Missing Features
This tool supports all the features that I currently use personally, which are not all of the features supported by `xcstrings` (for example, I have not tested plural strings, or strings that vary by device). Pull requests are welcome to add those missing features.
## Usage
Simply pull this repo, then run the following command from the repo root folder:
```
swift run ai-translate /path/to/your/Localizable.xcstrings -o -v -l de,es,fr,he,it,ru,hi,en-GB
```
Help output:
```
USAGE: ai-translate --languages --open-ai-key [--verbose] [--skip-backup] [--force]
ARGUMENTS:
OPTIONS:
-l, --languages a comma separated list of language codes (must match the language codes used by xcstrings)
-o, --open-ai-key
Your OpenAI API key, see: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
-v, --verbose
-s, --skip-backup By default a backup of the input will be created. When this flag is provided, the backup is skipped.
-f, --force Forces all strings to be translated, even if an existing translation is present.
-h, --help Show help information.
