Translate

With Select AI, you can use generative AI from the OCI translation service to translate your text into the language of your choice.

You can use this feature alongside the existing Select AI RAG. You can combine translate with DBMS_CLOUD_AI.GENERATE or narrate to use generative AI for producing translated outputs in your preferred language.

Benefits of Translate

The translate feature in Select AI enables you to translate input text in different languages.

The following are the benefits:

• Translate improves usability by converting text into your preferred language, enabling you to work with the database more effectively.
• Translate lets you convert documents in one language into a language that may be better suited for your selected embedding model, producing better vectors for use with RAG.
• Automatically translate output into your preferred language when using DBMS_CLOUD_AI.GENERATE or NARRATE.

How Do I Use Translate

Select AI enables you to translate your text input into your preferred language by using translate action or by calling the DBMS_CLOUD_AI.GENERATE or the DBMS_CLOUD_AI.TRANSLATE functions.

You can translate using the following:

• Use translate as a Select AI action. Use Select AI translate <text>. See Example: Select AI Actions.

• Provide translate as an action within the DBMS_CLOUD_AI.GENERATE function. See GENERATE Function.

• Use the DBMS_CLOUD_AI.TRANSLATE function. See TRANSLATE Function.
