[Note: this post has been translated with my own translator] [Note: using the API has costs; the cost of use depends on the size of the documents. As a rough guide during development, tests and various translations of 2-page documents I spent 0.0.3€ over 5 days]
In this post I present a small project I’ve published as open source. What would once have been a project of many years and several million euros is now a small experiment done on a Saturday morning. The keys are GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT 4 as programming assistants, and the GPT-3.5 Turbo API.

Simple Python 3 program that uses OpenAI’s GPT-3.5-turbo model to translate files from one language to another. It splits the file into 20-line chunks.## Requirements
You need an API key to use OpenAI’s API; you can get one here: https://beta.openai.com/docs/developer-quickstart/api-key this program looks for the key in a file indicated by the “mykeypath” variable, by default at the path ‘..//..//mykey.json’
You need to have Python 3 installed on your system. I used Python 3.10
You need to install the json and openai packages
pip install openai
pip install json
On your system you might need to use pip3 instead of pip.
