The OpenAI Plugin enables users to use an OpenAI GPT Model as Machine Translation engine, either for the pretranslation of tasks or with InstantTranslate.

Some Models can be trained within a fine-tuning UI and specific settings for each Model can be made from the Model-properties UI. Generally an OpenAI Model is bound to specific source/target languages and the fine-tuning can only be done for those languages.

After the plugin was activated for the installation some basic configurations have to be made:


OpenAI API URL (runtimeOptions.plugins.OpenAI.server)

This usually points to https://api.openai.com

OpenAI API authorization token (runtimeOptions.plugins.OpenAI.apiToken)

When your OpenAI account is entitled to use their API, one can create API tokens on this page:

https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936850-where-do-i-find-my-api-key

Make sure the payment-options are setup correctly as it can easily happen requests are rejected due to exhausted token-limits.

Especially "Auto recharge" has to be activated for an uninterrupted use of the API

OpenAI API organization-ID (runtimeOptions.plugins.OpenAI.organizationId, optional)

If you are using multiple OpenAI accounts and/or organisations, this ID can be used to differentiate billing & token limits.

Setup an organization here: https://platform.openai.com/account/organization


OpenAI Machine Translation default matchrate

By default, Machine Pretranslations have a matchrate of 70%. This value can be used to change this setting for OpenAI
