Many users run into blocks from commercial AIs, such as ChatGPT or Gemini, when trying to translate entire books due to copyright restrictions. In this thread, forum members discuss technical alternatives to bypass these limitations and achieve complete, high-quality translations.
Key points of the debate
- Limitations of popular AIs: Commercial language models often refuse to translate long or protected documents, cutting off the text or blocking the request over copyright policies.
- Open-source and local solutions: The use of tools such as 'TranslateBooksWithLLMs' together with Ollama is proposed, allowing models to run on your own hardware to avoid filters, token costs and censorship.
- Efficient alternatives:** Using e-book managers like Calibre, through specific translation extensions, is positioned as a viable and simple option to avoid paid APIs.
What forum members say about AI translation
Position A (The techie): Some forum members argue that the only way to have full control and bypass the blocks is local execution (Ollama). They argue that, although it requires a learning curve and hardware power, it is the definitive solution against the "sheeple" mindset of crippled commercial AIs.
Position B (The pragmatist): Other users suggest there is no need to complicate things with code. They recommend the Calibre ecosystem, which allows files to be processed without going through the restrictions of the big platforms, making it a more accessible option for the average user.
