This code utilizes ChatGPT to simplify and modernize a text to be used as an aid for translation. Input takes a Microsoft Word document and exports a Word document with the original text on the left and the modernized/simplified text on the right.

After unzipping the downloaded file, open up translation-helper.py in a text editor and add your ChatGPT API key to this line (line 8) preserving the single quotes around the key: openai.api_key = 'YOURAPIKEY'

Then have your input.doc contain the text you want to modernize in preperation for translation in the same directory as translation-helper.py
And run the script in the terminal using: python3 translation-helper.py
A progress bar will appear if everything is working correctly, with an estimated wait time.
An average book will cost around $4-$10 because we are using ChatGPT-4 Turbo.
