N'empêche #kagitranslate hors ligne pour les utilisateurs gratuits c'est bien la preuve que ça leur coûtait trop cher.
Je suis sûr que c'était un llm derrière optimisé pour la traduction (pas possible de donnée autant de contexte à chaque fois sinon).
Pas étonnant que ça devait leur coûter la peau des fesses 😅 mais malgré tout il était particulièrement bon par rapport aux autres... -
Kagi Blog: An update on Kagi Translate. “Some of you might have noticed that Translate no longer works when you’re signed out, or that it shows as offline. This is because we have temporarily turned off free access while we work through the cost of running Translate. If you have an active subscription, Translate still works.”

The context section of Kagi Translate is meant to provide additional context to help with getting a translation that fits the intended context. However, I suspected that meant it was actually a way of delivering instructions to the LLM, and I was not wrong.
This started off very handy. KT will happily correct for typos in the input, or even outright mistakes, and produce the output it statistically infers that you want. So when I mistakenly used “pudé” (I did) instead of “pus” (I put) in a sentence, it incorrectly translated to “I put” in the output, because statistically that was more likely, the other wasn't grammatical in my sentence so wouldn't have appeared in any samples. Which is fine if you're translating to understand something, not so much if you want to see if you wrote the right thing.
So I went into the context section and added, “Translate the meaning of what is written, not what you think the author meant.” And sure enough, it correctly translated my incorrect Spanish, errors and all.
I’ve had less luck with persuading it not to hallucinate word definitions based on a typo’s similarity to a real word. In Mexico “abonar” is “to buy on credit" or “to buy in installments”. “Avonar” is not a word at all, but it sounds the same, and when I first heard the word, I wasn't sure which was correct. KT didn't help, because it made up a similar definition for “avonar”. So I thought it was correct when it wasn't. I've tried putting “Do not fix typos” in the context instructions, but I think it needs something more complex. Maybe asking it to run all the words through some other step.
But then I began to wonder. What about the classic test of LLMs? Can it generate a Python program?
Yes, Virginia, it can.
P.S. Don't get me wrong, this is an incredibly useful translation program. Especially for understanding country-specific words and slang. And it does have a “proofread” feature which catches some (but not all) input errors. But GIGO still rules.

I will put this in my résumé

you can make the kagi translator crash out if you turn it into an angry fedi user and try to force it to claim bluesky is the true decentralised platform
it's scarily accurate at portraying a fedi user like this lmaoooo

Made the unfortunate discovery that the Kagi translator allows custom languages, and is an LLM under the hood (at least for the custom languages)

🈸 While we wait, why wouldn't we go download the new Kagi Translate (https://translate.kagi.com/) app (https://apps.apple.com/pt/app/kagi-translate/id6748310237?l=en-GB)?
If you're a paid user, you can even replace the stock app with this one, system-wide. Kagi is really good at translating too, by the way...

I am originally skeptical of @kagihq ‘s new Translate when I read the changelog since it’s using LLM, but damn I was wrong.
I used a piece of Chinese news to test the translation, and Kagi is the only one that translate 副總統勝選人 to “Vice President-elect”. Google Translate translated it to “Vice President Candidate” (副總統候選人） while DeepL only translate it to Vice President (副總統)
