Short answer

How can my AI detect and translate foreign text?

Your AI uses Tencent TMT to identify the language of any text you provide and then converts it into English or Chinese. You'll see the specific logic for each translation type below.

Translation outcomes

Where the text lands

The AI processes your input into these specific formats.

ENGLISH

English output

The AI identifies the source language and provides a clean English version. This happens when you request English translation.

CHINESE

Chinese output

The AI converts foreign text into Chinese. Use this when your work requires Mandarin or Chinese characters.

DETECTED

Language ID

The AI determines exactly what language the incoming text is written in. This happens before any translation occurs.

HUMAN

Manual review

You decide if the translation is accurate. The AI does the heavy lifting, but you keep final control.

The workflow

What your AI does when text arrives.

The AI follows a sequence to ensure the text is understood before it is converted.

  1. Identify language

    The AI looks at the raw text to figure out the source language.

    detect_language

  2. Convert to English

    Once identified, the AI turns the text into English.

    translate_to_english

  3. Convert to Chinese

    The AI can also turn the text into Chinese instead.

    translate_to_chinese

  4. Handle Chinese input

    If the text is already in Chinese, the AI converts it to English.

    translate_zh_to_en
