🤖 Beta access: translate with ChatGPT by OpenAI in Redokun

We’re excited to introduce the beta version of OpenAI (ChatGPT) integration in Redokun! This guide explains how to try it, what to expect, and how you can help us improve the experience.

🚀 What’s New?

Redokun now supports ChatGPT by OpenAI as a third AI translation engine in the Pre-Translate feature, alongside DeepL and Google Translate.

OpenAI (ChatGPT) offers:

• More context-aware and nuanced translations
• Great for marketing content and messages where tone matters

Currently, this is only available as a beta.

🗝️ Who will have access once ChatGPT is released?

Access to ChatGPT will be available to:

• ✅ Users on Basic and Premium plans
• ❌ Not available to users on Legacy Basic or Legacy Premium plans

To check which plan you’re on:

1. Click on your name in the top-right corner.
2. Go to Settings > Current Plan.

🧭 Why Is This in Beta?

We believe OpenAI (ChatGPT) has strong potential to improve translation quality—especially for content where tone and nuance matter. However, we’re still:

• Testing performance across a wide range of content and languages
• Gathering real-world feedback
• Working on important features like glossary and tone control

This beta phase is essential to help us uncover and fix edge cases, and improve quality output before a full release.

Your testing—on the types of content you translate—helps us move faster toward a stable, powerful feature that delivers the best results possible for your use case.

⚙️ How to disable ChatGPT

Once released, ChatGPT will be turned on by default for all eligible accounts.

To deactivate it:

1. Log in with the Team Owner (admin) account.
2. Click on your name in the top-right corner and select Settings.
3. Go to Advanced.
4. Under AI Features, deactivate "OpenAI (ChatGPT) functionalities".

📄 How to Use OpenAI (ChatGPT) in Pre-Translate

1. Go to your document in Redokun.
2. Click Pre-Translate.
3. In the language selection panel, check the box under AI Machine Translation.

4. Select OpenAI (ChatGPT) as your translation engine from the dropdown and click Continue.

   
   

   

5. Select a tone of voice for the translation:
   • Neutral (default): Clean and accurate, without added tone or style.
   • Friendly: Warm and engaging — for marketing, newsletters, etc.

   • Formal: Polished and professional — for legal or business content.

     
     

     

6. Start the Pre-Translate process.

That’s it! Redokun will translate the document using OpenAI (ChatGPT).

✨ AI Fine-Tuning in the Web Editor

AI Fine-Tuning lets you instantly improve or adjust translations without leaving the Web Editor. You can:

• Fix spelling and grammar – Correct mistakes and improve sentence structure.
• Suggest different alternatives – Get reworded options to choose from.
• Make it shorter – Condense text without losing meaning.

For step-by-step instructions, see the full guide: AI Fine-Tuning.

✅ What Happens to My Data?

When you use AI translation in Redokun (e.g., Pre-Translate or Web Editor suggestions), your content is temporarily sent to a third-party translation engine. These engines are used only to generate the translation.

All of our providers explicitly state in their Terms of Service that:

• They do not use your data for training their models.
• The content is used exclusively to return the requested translation.

Most of our providers do not store the content you send.

However, for providers like OpenAI, your content may be securely retained for up to 30 days to deliver the service and monitor for abuse. After 30 days, API inputs and outputs are deleted from their systems, unless they are legally required to keep them longe
