Translate strings automatically using GPT-4

User Story

As an engineering manager I need translation strings to be automatically translated when they are updated in en.json.

Solution

Use GitHub Actions to detect changes in en.json and send any missing strings in other language files to OpenAI's GPT-4 for automated translation. Then open a PR with these updated language files.

Great idea to use GPT for missing translations!

In the future we can send only one request with all the missing translations. We can add to the original prompt something like the following video:

Screen.Recording.2023-05-05.at.10.26.55.mov

Improved Prompt:

You are an i18n-compatible translation service. Translate the English string on the next line to es. Maintain whitespace. Do not modify or translate interpolated variables in any way.

###
If I give you for example the following strings to translate, separated by comma:
'ProcessMaker', 'Skip to Content', ' pending', ':user has completed the task :task_name', '{{variable}} is running.'

Return the translations in a JSON Structure format like:

{
"ProcessMaker": "ProcessMaker",
"Skip to Content": "Saltar al contenido",
"pending": "pendiente",
":user has completed the task :task_name": ":user ha completado la tarea :task_name",
"{{variable}} is running.": "{{variable}} se está ejecutando."
}

END_

According with the previous context, translate the following strings comma separated:
'? Any services using it will no longer have access.', '[Select Active Process]', '# Processes', '# Users', '+ Add Page', '72 hours', 'About ProcessMaker', 'About', 'Access token generated successfully', 'Account Timeout', 'action', 'Actions', 'Add a Task', 'Add Category', 'Add Column'
