Three-Step Reflection Translation Method

Using AI translation (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) for subtitle translation can significantly improve translation quality by leveraging contextual information, although minor issues like occasional blank lines may occur.

Video Translation v3.12 adds the "Three-Step Reflection Translation Method" to further optimize AI translation results. This method requires the AI to first perform a direct translation, then reflect on the shortcomings of the direct translation and propose modifications, and finally perform an idiomatic translation based on the suggestions. These three iterative steps can significantly improve translation accuracy.

However, the "Three-Step Reflection Translation Method" also has some limitations: First, it consumes more Tokens; second, it requires a higher level of intelligence from the AI model, and the output of low-intelligence models is often chaotic. Therefore, this function only supports online large language models such as OpenAI ChatGPT, Gemini, etc., and does not support local small models.

How to Enable:

Step One: Enable Advanced Options

In the menu bar, click "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Advanced Options", and then check the two options shown in the image below.

Step Two: Select AI Translation Channel

Step Three: Select the Appropriate Model

When selecting a model, for the ChatGPT series, be sure to select the "gpt-4" or "gpt-4-mini" model and avoid using "gpt-3.5". This is because the higher the model's intelligence, the better the effect of the "Three-Step Reflection Translation Method"; conversely, it may produce meaningless results.

In summary, combining the "Three-Step Reflection Translation Method" with a suitable AI model can greatly improve the quality and efficiency of subtitle translation. Please choose the appropriate model for optimal results.
