When watching youtube**, I occasionally found that an up master has a very interesting operation, when using Google Bard, you can quickly change the input Chinese to English. As we all know, although generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Bard can support Chinese, their understanding of Chinese, response speed, and generated results are not satisfactory.
Previously, in order to obtain more accurate results, it was often necessary to use translation tools to repeatedly copy and paste the Chinese and English results of questions and answers. And the operation of this YouTube up master can't help but inspire my desire to explore.
This translation tool is "Immersive Translation", a browser plug-in, supporting chrome, safari, firefox and other browsers, there are also apps in macOS and iOS, and you can also install it through oil monkeys, which can be regarded as a rich application scenario.
What makes me speechless is that this plugin is in my browser, but I don't know that it actually has a shortcut key for translation, just type "Chinese content", and then click the spacebar three times to directly translate Chinese content into English.
Of course, this content alone is not necessary.
When using the "Immersive Translation" plugin in the future, by configuring DeeplX, you can use Deepl's API for free, so as to get better translated content, which is worth documenting. For friends who want to prostitute deepl translation services, you might as well take a look.
1. Deepl translation: more contextual and more accurate.
The immersive translation plugin supports 16 translation services such as Goggle Translation, Microsoft Translator, and DeepL. So why choose Deepl Translation?We can take a look at the comparison on the Internet:
If you want to know more about Deepl's translation advantages, you can go to its official website. Among the machine translation services available on the market, Deepl is indeed "far ahead".
Although Deepl has a free API usage limit, the biggest obstacle to registration is that it requires a foreign credit card, which is not friendly to domestic users. One way to solve this problem is to apply for a virtual credit card. For example, you can use this app.
Dupay Pro [applestore searchable, can't find to change the US ID].
Invitation Code: 454948
Kind friends may wish to register, no card opening no charge. Help me get my head together.
Of course, the biggest obstacle to the use of this type of virtual credit card is that it needs to be topped up with cryptocurrency. Like DuPay, USDT is required.
If not, you may need to accumulate some knowledge of cryptocurrency account opening, deposits, and transfers.
In addition, by the way, there are also some virtual credit card platforms that support Alipay WeChat recharge, such as nobe, but the security and service are difficult to describe, take a look at the review feedback and use it with caution.
If none of the above is possible, there is an alternative, and that is the DeepLX service.
2. DeepLX: Compromises to use Deepl API for free
DeepLX is an open source project on GitHub, which is based on the Deepl free service, converts it into a native API, and provides it for third applications to use, such as immersive translation, BOB (macOS users can consider using it).
On the Internet, there are a lot of tutorials about Bob using Deepl, most of which are about zu1k, and this big brother has deleted the library, so there is no way to use it. So I'm going to go to the DeepLX tutorial on OWO.
The installation process is as follows:
3. DeepLX installation process.
I tried two ways, one is to install it locally on my Mac computer, and the other is to install it on a VPS server. Originally, I wanted to install it in the Docker of the NAS, so that different system devices can be shared, but unfortunately the CPU of my NAS is Intel's. DeepLX, on the other hand, only supports Linux ARM64 AMD64.
1. Mac computer.
If you want to install DeepLX on a Mac computer, you must first install Homebrew.
Open the terminal and enter (need to go over the wall):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fssl "Update to the latest version:brew tap owo-network/brewbrew install deeplxbrew services start owo-network/brew/deeplx
Check out the currently installed version:brew updatebrew upgrade deeplxbrew services restart owo-network/brew/deeplx
brew list --versions deeplxbash4. Translation Service Configuration.
Here you need to remember the apiurl of the two installation methods:
Local installation (e.g. macOS): http: localhost:1188 translate
Server or docker installation: http: server ip or docker ip: 1188 translate
1. Immersive translation plug-in.
1) Upgrade to the latest version, and then open "Developer Settings" in Settings
2) Enter the API URL
2. Bob translation software
If you are using a Mac computer, in addition to the immersive translation browser plug-in, you can also consider installing Bob Translator in the AppStore.
However, if you want to use DeepLX, you will need to install a DeepLX plugin.
(1) **DeepLX plugin
Address:
(2) Install the deeplx plug-in
(3) Configure the DeepLX plug-in
When using the bob-depplx plugin, if it is installed locally, the configuration here is the default http: localhost:1188 translate, and there is no need to modify it.
I don't know if you have the same feeling, in the context of the gushing out of various efficiency tools, especially AIGC, we are faced with all kinds of fragmented plug-ins and apps, and the cost of learning is not falling but rising, and the efficiency of learning and work seems to be the same. The knowledge gap is not being filled by software, but is getting deeper.
Just like ChatGPT, there is a difference in whether it will be used, but whether it will use ChatGPTplus's plug-ins and prompts well is the key.
Google Gemini Pro is rumored to be integrated into the new generation of Pixel9 phones, and many computer brands have also started to launch AIPC. I hope that the day of "all in one" at the system level will come soon.
Okay, if you think it's useful, just pay attention to it.
It would be better if you could order a little Chinese end of advertising
