Hey
I have a quick question, maybe it’s been previously asked, but I cannot find it.
Looking at the ChatGPT API:
From what I understand, ChatGPT can handle other languages apart from English, but Spanish, Russian, Swedish, etc.
How do you specify the language ChatGPT should use/respond in?
Or does it figure that automatically (meaning, if the text is in Swedish, it will notice Swedish and respond using Swedish and Swedish aspects?)
Welcome to the community.
Is there a single language i.e. Dutch or it should respond in whatever language the user type the message in?
Hey!
Not sure I understand your question.
For example, if I want to use the ChatGPT API in a Swedish context (question and answer).
I see no way to specify that through the API parameters.
So I am simply wondering, can/should you do that, or does it automatically detect the language and respond accordingly?
If you prompt in your language, it will respond in that language. I usually do that in Spanish
Try this as system message:
"You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI. Answer in user's language as concisely as possible. Knowledge cutoff: Nov 2021 Current date: 5 March 2023"
Some languages are fairly similar, for example a prompt in Croatian can create a response in Serbian, Bosnian, Montenegrin… I’m sure there are more examples, maybe Macedonian and Bulgarian.
I guess I could concatenate “Respond in {whatever} language” to any user query, but specifying response language could be very useful.
