About translate-gpt-release-notes

translate-gpt-release-notes is a fastlane plugin that allows you to translate release notes or changelogs for iOS and Android apps using OpenAI GPT API. Based on translate-gpt by ftp27.

How it works:

translate-gpt-release-notes takes the changelog file for master locale (default: en-US), detects other locales based on fastlane metadata folder structure, translates changelog to all other languages with OpenAI API and creates localized .txt changelong files in respective folders

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use translate-gpt-release-notes in a Fastfile

  lane :translate_release_notes do
    translate_gpt_release_notes(
      master_locale: 'en-US',
      platform: 'ios',
      context: 'This is an app about cute kittens'
      # other parameters...
    )
end

Options

The following options are available for translate-gpt-release-notes:

Key	Description	Environment Variable
api_token	The API key for your OpenAI GPT account.	GPT_API_KEY
model_name	Name of the ChatGPT model to use (default: gpt-4-1106-preview)	GPT_MODEL_NAME
temperature	What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic. Defaults to 0.5	GPT_TEMPERATURE
request_timeout	Timeout for the request in seconds. Defaults to 30 seconds	GPT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
master_locale	Master language/locale for the source texts	MASTER_LOCALE
context	Context for translation to improve accuracy	GPT_CONTEXT
platform	Platform for which to translate (ios or android, defaults to ios).	PLATFORM

Authentication

translate-gpt-release-notes supports multiple authentication methods for the OpenAI GPT API:

API Key

You can provide your API key directly as an option to translate-gpt:

translate_gpt_release_notes(
  api_token: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  master_locale: 'en-US',
  platform: 'ios',
  context: 'This is an app about cute kittens'

)

Environment Variable

Alternatively, you can set the GPT_API_KEY environment variable with your API key:

export GPT_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'

And then call translate-gp-release-notes without specifying an API key:

translate_gpt_release_notes(
  master_locale: 'en-US',
  platform: 'ios',
  context: 'This is an app about cute kittens'
)

Important notes:

• Android has a limit of 500 symbols for changelogs and sometimes translations can exceed this number, which leads to Google API errors when submitting the app. Plugin tries to handle this, however errors happen. Reducing the length of master_locale changelog usually helps. iOS has a limit of 4000 symbols, which is plenty.
• OpenAI API usage cost money, keep it in mind.
