Hey, Dazedanon, do you think you could implement Command R Plus API to your code? It's not as cheap as GPT 3.5, but it's cheaper compared to GPT 4 turbo ($3 M Token input and $15 M Token output) AND has a higher translation quality compared to GPT 3.5. Plus it has a huge context budget (128000)
Here's a comparison translation I got from a Light Novel text:
「うっ……そうですね、反省してます」
「あのふたりは大事にしろよ。思いどおりにならないからこそ、対等に接することができるんだ。そういう本当の友達は──お金じゃ決して買えないぞ」
今日一番の名言に、藤とう花かは感動の涙……は流さなかったけど、
「はい、そうですね」
優しい笑顔で感じ入ったようにうなずいた。
「……たしかにいいこと言ってますけど、ヒモが語ることじゃないですね」
運転席の麻ま耶やさんがぽつりとこぼした。
うっせえおっぱい。帰ったらセクハラしてやるからな。
……が、ここで藤花が予想外のリアクションをする。
「あはは、そうですね」
えっ……まじか。藤花さん、そこ同意しちゃうの?
「ふふ、すいません。千鶴と紗奈と話し合って、遺い憾かんですが認めることにしたんです」
藤花はにこやかに言い放った。
「先生は、わたしのヒモです」
……うん。いやまあ、そうなんだけどさ。揺るぎない事実だけどさ。
藤花からそう告げられると、なんだろう。ちょっと泣きたくなるな……。
「でも、わたしはそれでいいと思うんです。先生がそばにいてくれるだけで、わたしは楽しいんですから。これでもっと漫画を描いてくれたら、本当に言うことなしです」
「……あ、はい。そう言っていただけると、幸いです。漫画もできるだけがんばります」
思わず敬語になってしまった。
「麻耶もそう思いますよね?」
「…………まあ、そうですね」
露骨に間まをおいて、麻耶さんはしぶしぶ同意した。
いや、そこは朗らかに答えてくれよ。
「千鶴や紗奈だって先生のことを慕っています。先生はたとえヒモでも、いいヒモです」
わーい。なんて嬉うれしくない褒ほめ言葉だ。
「ですから、これからもよろしくお願いしますね、先生」
「……こちらこそ、どうぞよろしく」
満面の笑みで言う藤とう花かに、俺は深々と頭を下げた。
……まあ、なんにしても。お墨つきをもらえたのだ。
今後は職業を訊きかれたら、胸を張ってこう言おう。
ロリのヒモです、と。
GPT 4 Turbo translation:
"Ugh… Yes, I'm reflecting on it."
"Take good care of those two. It's because things don't always go as planned that you can treat each other as equals. True friends like that—can't be bought with money."
Today's most profound statement didn't make Fuji Touka shed tears of emotion, but,
"Yes, that's right."
She nodded as if deeply moved, with a gentle smile.
"…Indeed, you're saying something good, but it's not something a mooch should talk about."
Maya-san, who was driving, muttered quietly.
Shut up, boobs. I'll harass you when we get home.
…However, Fuji Touka reacted unexpectedly.
"Ahaha, that's right."
What… seriously? Touka-san, you're agreeing to that?
"Hehe, sorry. After discussing it with Chizuru and Sana, it's regrettable, but we've decided to accept it."
Touka cheerfully declared.
"Sensei is my mooch."
…Yeah. Well, that's true. It's an undeniable fact.
Being told that by Touka, somehow makes me want to cry…
"But I think it's fine. As long as Sensei is by my side, I'm happy. If you could draw more manga, that would be perfect."
"…Ah, yes. I'm glad to hear you say that. I'll do my best with the manga too."
I inadvertently spoke formally.
"Maya thinks so too, right?"
"…Well, yes."
After a deliberate pause, Maya-san reluctantly agreed.
Come on, answer more cheerfully.
"Chizuru and Sana also adore Sensei. Even if Sensei is a mooch, you're a good mooch."
Yay. What an unflattering compliment.
"So, please continue to look after us, Sensei."
"…Likewise, please do."
With a broad smile, Fuji Touka bowed deeply to me.
…Well, anyway. I've got their endorsement.
From now on, when asked about my job, I'll proudly say,
"I'm a loli's mooch."
Command R Plus translation:
"Ugh... Yeah, I know. I'm reflecting on it."
"Take care of those two. Because they don't do as you expect, you can treat them as equals. You can't buy that kind of true friendship with money."
Today's most memorable quote brought tears of emotion to Touka's eyes... or at least it would have if she hadn't maintained her composure,
"Yes, that's true."
She nodded gently with a soft smile, seemingly touched by the words.
"Well, that's true... but it's not something a mooch would say,"
Maya, in the driver's seat, muttered.
Shut up, you big-breasted woman. When we get home, I'm going to sexually harass you.
...But here, Touka gives an unexpected reaction.
"Ahaha, that's true."
Huh... seriously? Touka, you're agreeing with that?
"Hehe, I'm sorry. After discussing it with Tsuru and Sana, I reluctantly decided to accept it."
Touka said with a smile.
"You're a mooch to me."
...Well, yeah. That's true, but it's an undeniable fact.
Hearing it from Touka made me feel a little like crying...
"But I think that's fine. Just having you by my side makes me happy. If you draw more manga, I'll have nothing to complain about."
"...Oh, yes. It would make me happy to hear you say that. I'll do my best with the manga as well."
I inadvertently spoke in a polite tone.
"Don't you think so, Maya?"
"........ Well, yes."
Maya reluctantly agreed after a noticeable pause.
...Come on, give me a cheerful response!
"Tsuru and Sana admire you, too. Even if you're a mooch, you're a good one."
Yay. What a backhanded compliment.
"So, I'm counting on you in the future, Sensei."
"...Likewise, thank you."
I bowed deeply to Touka, who was beaming at me.
...Well, in any case. I've received their approval.
From now on, when asked about my occupation, I'll proudly declare:
"I'm a loli's mooch!"
