Already using AI for video translation and want to take it to the next level? Looking for higher translation quality at a lower cost? Then it's time to explore the top AI large language models from China!

Deepseek V3/R1, Qwen2.5 and other domestic AIs excel in translation and are more competitively priced than foreign large language models. Even better, we can easily call them with one API Key through Alibaba Bailian and Silicon Flow, two "large model marketplaces," and seamlessly integrate them into video translation software.

This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to leverage domestic AI large language models to improve the quality and efficiency of video translation!

I. Alibaba Bailian: A Massive Selection, There's Always One for You!

Alibaba Bailian is like an AI model supermarket, bringing together many excellent models such as the Alibaba Tongyi Qianwen series. The biggest advantage is that it's cheap and stable.

  1. Log in to the Alibaba Bailian platform:
    Visit https://bailian.console.aliyun.com and log in.

  2. Browse models and copy the name:
    In the model list, you can see various available AI models, as well as their pricing information. The qwen-max-latest and qwen2.5-72b-instruct models currently have good translation results.

  1. Register and get the API Key:
    First, go to the Deepseek Open Platform https://platform.deepseek.com.

  2. Configure video translation software:
    Open the video translation software, find Translation Settings --> OpenAI ChatGPT API in the menu, and we can use Deepseek with a little modification:

    • API URL: In the "API URL" text box, fill in https://api.deepseek.com/v1.
    • SK: In the "SK" text box, paste the API Key you just created on the Deepseek platform.
  3. Select model:

    • Enter deepseek-chat,deepseek-reasoner in the Fill in all available models text box
    • Select the model you want to use deepseek-chat in the Select model drop-down box.

    Tips: deepseek-chat is the V3 model, suitable for daily translation. deepseek-reasoner is the R1 model, which is better at logical reasoning, but the speed may be slower.
