Hi! It is not possible to add support for your own API keys for LLMs because it would not work correctly when translating a site. LLM solutions (be it OpenAI or Anthropic) often return unusable data, like an error, or totally messed up content. Besides the content itself, using direct data from an LLM would also often break the HTML part of your page. This is why the WPML AI engine has a lot of checks for all the content that is being sent and then received from LLM systems. It checks for a TON of things like data integrity, HTML markup, error messages, correct formatting, formality, and many, many other things. This is all done by our own algorithms on top of what an LLM returns. Of course, such checks require powerful servers that can handle such an amount of data and this comes at a cost. And this is why we have no plans on enabling you to use your own API key directly - because then the first thing you would ask is "Why did the translation break my page?". Because LLMs do that, they "hallucinate". Unless you add our technology on top that makes sure things work as they should.
Great job !
Has support for translating with ChatGPT or Claude with our own API key been added?
