🤖 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.

⚙️ How to Join the Beta

🧑‍💼 Available ONLY to users on Basic and Premium plans.

1. Fill out the form to request beta access: Request Access to Beta
2. Once enabled, OpenAI (ChatGPT) will be available for your entire account.
3. Use it in the Pre-Translate workflow just like DeepL or Google Translate.

🧭 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 You Can Help

This feature is not yet production-ready—and we need your help to improve it:

Please:

• Use OpenAI (ChatGPT) on real documents, including large or complex ones.
• Try different language pairs and content types (marketing, legal, etc.).
• Report any issues or feedback here: Give Feedback on the Beta

🔮 What’s Next?

Your feedback will help us:

• Improve reliability and performance
• Add support for Glossary terms, tone of voice, and more
• Launch a full version once it’s ready for production

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

1. Go to your document in Redokun.
2. Click Pre-Translate.
3. Select OpenAI (ChatGPT) as your translation engine.
4. Start the Pre-Translate process.

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

⚠️ Known Limitations

Please note that the beta version is still under development:

• OpenAI (ChatGPT) is currently only available for Pre-Translate (not for segment suggestions).
• Glossary is not supported, yet.
• Tone settings (e.g. formal/informal) are not yet configurable.
• May have issues with larger files or certain languages.

📊 Usage and Word Count

• Machine Translation quota is deducted when using OpenAI (ChatGPT).
• Word count is deducted when downloading a translated document.

✅ 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
