Kagi translate uses a slopinator in the background, you can pass anything in the to query parameter. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 76 points 4 months ago (3 children) Translation is actually one of the real valid uses for LLMs. It's actually what they where originally designed for. They are DAMN good at it to. It picks up on local dialects and cultural euphemism very well and give you very natural output. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 17 points 4 months ago* (2 children) See deepl.com (pronounced deepulu in Japanse fyi) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone [S] 4 points 4 months ago (1 child) zwiebulu permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago permalink fedilink source parent [+] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago I had to very, very grudgingly but rightfully apologize to one of my traders for using an LLM to translate some Vietnamese financial accounts to English.
