How to start chat support other languages ?

Open SergeyStratus opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

I managed to set up and install on my PC, but it does not support my native language, so that it would be convenient to use it. Although he answered twice in my language, and then said that he did not know my language but only English, French. so I have a question how to teach him my language?

According to this issue and this other one this is not something predictable or even possible to do sometimes.

"ChatGPT isn't actually aware of what language you're using. You used a set of words in language X, so it spits out words related to your input, which happens to often form an answer since it's really good at prediction. What character set you're using it doesn't even know, it's not represented in it's token system."

(From one of the issues above).

After some playing around it can sometimes provide some words in my native language (pt-BR), but in average it can only answer in english since most of the data used for its training was in english. I think the only solution for this would to completely retrain the model using other languages for more predictable results.

Any idea how to retrain the model for specific language using google collab?

Любая идея, как переобучить модель для определенного языка с помощью Google Collab?

If I knew, and the idea is good, in general, I think that you need to somehow embed the translator in the gpt chat and most likely he will understand what you are saying to him, since the translator will have to work in two directions and respond already through processing to the translators , but the question is how then gptchat works open AI and understands almost any language

fine tuning instead of retraining from scratch with a dataset in the desired language could be an option?

Does anywhere exist a downloadable model that supports chatting in Albanian (or Hungarian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian etc)?
