Easily automate multilingual translations for your projects with co-op-translator, powered by advanced LLM technology and Azure AI Services.
Co-op Translator is a Python package designed to automate multilingual translations for your projects using advanced Large Language Model (LLM) technology and Azure AI Services. This project aims to simplify the process of translating content into multiple languages, making it accessible and efficient for developers.
By integrating Co-op Translator into your workflow, you can automatically generate organized translation folders for different languages, and translate both Markdown files and images effortlessly.
Here is an example of how Co-op Translator structures the translations and translates both Markdown files and text within images in your project:
Have you struggled with traditional translation tools when working with Markdown files? Many translation engines fail to preserve Markdown syntax, forcing you to manually fix formatting issues after translation. Even advanced tools like ChatGPT can misinterpret code blocks, making it hard to copy and paste the translated content while maintaining the original structure.
Co-op Translator is specifically designed to solve these problems. With a single command, you can translate all Markdown files and images in your project into any desired language while preserving the correct Markdown syntax.
Translate your project's Markdown files effortlessly with Co-op Translator!
The process begins with Markdown and image files from your project folder, which are processed by Azure AI Services:
The final translated Markdown and image files are saved in the designated translation folder, ready to be used in multiple languages.
pip install co-op-translator
poetry add co-op-translator
These case studies show how Co-op Translator was applied to translate a real-world project. It highlights the translation process, the challenges encountered, and the results achieved, providing a useful reference for applying the tool to similar projects.
Before starting the translation process, you can add a table in the README that links to the translated versions of your document. Co-op Translator will automatically adjust these links during the translation process, allowing users to seamlessly switch between different language versions.
For example, if a user navigates to the Korean README, they can easily switch to other translations like Spanish or Japanese without leaving the translated page.
Here is an example of how the table should look before running the translation:

Microsoft is committed to helping our customers use our AI products responsibly, sharing our learnings, and building trust-based partnerships through tools like Transparency Notes and Impact Assessments. Many of these resources can be found at https://aka.ms/RAI. Microsoft’s approach to responsible AI is grounded in our AI principles of fairness, reliability and safety, privacy and security, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability.
Large-scale natural language, image, and speech models - like the ones used in this sample - can potentially behave in ways that are unfair, unreliable, or offensive, in turn causing harms. Please consult the Azure OpenAI service Transparency note to be informed about risks and limitations.
The recommended approach to mitigating these risks is to include a safety system in your architecture that can detect and prevent harmful behavior. Azure AI Content Safety provides an independent layer of protection, able to detect harmful user-generated and AI-generated content in applications and services. Azure AI Content Safety includes text and image APIs that allow you to detect material that is harmful. We also have an interactive Content Safety Studio that allows you to view, explore and try out sample code for detecting harmful content across different modalities. The following quickstart documentation guides you through making requests to the service.
Another aspect to take into account is the overall application performance. With multi-modal and multi-models applications, we consider performance to mean that the system performs as you and your users expect, including not generating harmful outputs. It's important to assess the performance of your overall application using generation quality and risk and safety metrics.
You can evaluate your AI application in your development environment using the prompt flow SDK. Given either a test dataset or a target, your generative AI application generations are quantitatively measured with built-in evaluators or custom evaluators of your choice. To get started with the prompt flow sdk to evaluate your system, you can follow the quickstart guide. Once you execute an evaluation run, you can visualize the results in Azure AI Studio.
