Using the Three-Step Reflection Translation Method

Using AI translation (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) to translate subtitles can significantly improve translation quality by fully utilizing contextual information, although minor problems such as blank lines may occasionally occur.

Video Translation version v3.12 added the "Three-Step Reflection Translation Method" to further optimize AI translation results. This method requires AI to first perform a literal translation, then reflect on the shortcomings of the literal translation and propose modification suggestions, and finally translate the original text interpretively 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 high degree of intelligence from the AI model. The output of low-intelligence models is often messy. Therefore, this function only supports online large language models such as OpenAI ChatGPT and Gemini, and does not support local small models.

How to Enable:

Step 1: Enable Advanced Options

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

Step 2: Select AI Translation Channel

In the "Translation Channel" option, select channels that support AI translation such as "OpenAI ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude AI/302.AI".

Step 3: Select a Suitable 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 intelligence, the better the effect of the "Three-Step Reflection Translation Method"; otherwise, you may get meaningless results.

All in all, combining the "Three-Step Reflection Translation Method" with a suitable AI model can greatly improve the quality and efficiency of subtitle translation. Please pay attention to choosing the right model for the best results.
