AITranslator is a graphical user interface (GUI) application designed for translating files using large language models (LLMs). It targets users who need to translate various file formats, offering a user-friendly interface for managing translation tasks and integrating with LLM backends.

How It Works

The application leverages LLMs for translation, allowing users to either load local GGUF models or configure OpenAI API parameters. It supports a workflow where users load files, configure translation options, initiate the translation process, and then manually handle any failed translations by merging them with the successful results.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install/Run: Download and run the executable.
• Prerequisites: Requires a GGUF model or OpenAI API key.
• Setup Time: Minimal, assuming LLM backend is accessible.
• Docs: [Not explicitly linked in README]

Highlighted Details

• Supports translation of MTool JSON, Translator++ CSV folders, SRT, and TXT files.
• Offers both local GGUF model loading and OpenAI API integration.
• Includes a manual step for handling and merging failed translations.
• Built using .NET with WPF for the UI.

Maintenance & Community

• The project welcomes contributions via forks, development branches, and pull requests.
• Acknowledges inspiration from a Python translation script by smzh.
• Uses several open-source libraries including LLamaSharp, CommunityToolkit, and Newtonsoft.Json.

Licensing & Compatibility

• Licensed under GPL-3.0. Modifications and distributions must remain open-source.
• Compatibility with closed-source projects may be restricted due to the GPL-3.0 license's copyleft provisions.

Limitations & Caveats

The application requires manual intervention for any translation failures, and the process for merging these manual translations is not detailed. The project is open to contributions, suggesting it may still be under active development.
