OpenAI-Continuous-Translator is an open-source project that enables continuous translation (Or internationalization, i18n) in multiple formats and languages, including code comments, using OpenAI's ChatGPT/GPT4 API in your GitHub Action.

Support file format:

• Markdown
• rst
• txt
• HTML
• jupyter notebook
• cpp/c/python/js (code comments)
• others are comming soon...

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

• Set API key(OPENAI_API_KEY) to secrets

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

You can translate your repo with Github Actions:

1. Add the following to your github action:

    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - uses: yunwei37/OpenAI-Continuous-Translator@master
      with:
          git_repo_url: https://github.com/yourname/reponame
          api_key: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}

The git_repo_url does not always need to be the current repo. You can either make a mirror repo from the original one, or you internationalize the original repo.

You can add and commit the result:

      - name: Add & Commit
        uses: EndBug/[email protected]

And use create-pull-request to create a PR for your repo:

    - name: Create Pull Request
      uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v4

Here is a complete example:

name: Continuous Translation

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * 1' # At 00:00 on Monday

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - uses: yunwei37/OpenAI-Continuous-Translator@master
      with:
          git_repo_url: https://github.com/radi-cho/awesome-gpt4
          api_key: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}
    - name: Add & Commit
      uses: EndBug/[email protected]
    - name: Create Pull Request
      uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v4

The translated repo example maybe:

• https://github.com/yunwei37/Prompt-Engineering-Guide-zh-CN
• https://github.com/yunwei37/awesome-gpt4-zh-CN

The complete workflow is roughly as follows:

1. Spend two minutes configuring the corresponding API key and desired settings in the CI, as well as GitHub permissions.
2. GitHub Actions can periodically check the upstream repository for new changes, and if there are any, it will pull down the corresponding change and translate it.
3. The action will automatically submit the translated changes as a pull request in the current repository, which will be reviewed and proofread by humans before being merged.

• Translation of code comments in multiple languages, including Python, Java, and JavaScript...

  For example, a Linux kernel code comment:

    /* MEM points to BPF ring buffer reservation. */
    MEM_RINGBUF		= BIT(2 + BPF_BASE_TYPE_BITS),
  
    /* MEM is in user address space. */
    MEM_USER		= BIT(3 + BPF_BASE_TYPE_BITS),
  
    /* MEM is a percpu memory. MEM_PERCPU tags PTR_TO_BTF_ID. When tagged
    * with MEM_PERCPU, PTR_TO_BTF_ID _cannot_ be directly accessed. In
    * order to drop this tag, it must be passed into bpf_per_cpu_ptr()
    * or bpf_this_cpu_ptr(), which will return the pointer corresponding
    * to the specified cpu.
    */
    MEM_PERCPU		= BIT(4 + BPF_BASE_TYPE_BITS),

  will be translated into Chinese:

  /* MEM 指向 BPF 环形缓冲区预留。*/
  MEM_RINGBUF		= BIT(2 + BPF_BASE_TYPE_BITS),
  
  /* MEM 在用户地址空间中。 */
  MEM_USER		= BIT(3 + BPF_BASE_TYPE_BITS),
  
  /* MEM 是 percpu 内存。MEM_PERCPU 标记 PTR_TO_BTF_ID。
  * 被标记为 MEM_PERCPU 的 PTR_TO_BTF_ID 不能直接访问。
  * 为了去除此标记，必须将其传递到 bpf_per_cpu_ptr() 或 bpf_this_cpu_ptr()，
  * 这将返回与指定 cpu 相对应的指针。
  */
  MEM_PERCPU		= BIT(4 + BPF_BASE_TYPE_BITS),

• Automatic detection of changes to Git repositories

• Configurable options, such as Git repository URL, source and target languages, and API key

  inputs:

      description: "Additional prompt to improve performance."
    i18n_surfix:
      description: "The i18n surfix to add to the translated file. The default is empty, so the translated file will overwrite the original file."

• Detailed logging to track translation progress and debug issues

Continuous translation is the practice of automating the translation of new content as it is created, allowing for seamless communication across different languages and cultures. By integrating with version control systems like Git, continuous translation ensures that translations are always up-to-date with the latest content, reducing the time and effort required for manual translation.
