You can set the LLM parameter in the MT Settings. To open MT Settings:

• In the Launcher: Menubar -> Translator -> Double-click on the translator option

System Prompt

Customize the initial instructions provided to the translation system to fine-tune translation.

Stream

Enable real-time streaming to receive translation results progressively instead of waiting for the entire translation to complete.

Context History

Improve translation accuracy by using context from previously translated text.

• Context Source Choose the context source:

  • New Translation History: Uses the most recent translations from the current session.

  • Translation Memory: Uses stored translation memory entries.

• Max Context Entries Set the maximum number of previous entries to use as context.

  Note: More entries consume more tokens, which may increase processing time and API costs.

Content Filtering and Restrictions

LLM services like ChatGPT, GeminiAI, and ClaudeAI have content filters that may block:

• Explicit, harmful, or offensive content

• Text that violates the AI provider's terms of service

• Sensitive or restricted material, including copyrighted content

What Happens with Restricted Content?

If your text is flagged:

• The LLM may refuse to translate it

• You may receive an error message or generic response instead of a translation

Tips to Avoid Issues

• Try a different model or version: If one model flags your text, switch to another. Note that newer versions often have stricter filters.

• Experiment with prompt engineering: Search online for effective prompt engineering techniques. Be careful to follow the AI provider's terms of service when doing this.
