# Whole-article and scoped LLM translation
**Status: implemented** (protocol modes and validation in
`pagerite/translate.py`, reference client `scripts/llm_translator.py`,
human-translation import `scripts/import_translation.py`; wire-level docs
in docs/localization.md). One deviation from the text below: ollama's
OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions` silently ignores `think: false`
(verified on 0.34.2), so the client's `api` config selects ollama's native
`/api/chat` for ollama backends; the OpenAI shape serves llama.cpp and
hosted APIs.
Design for augmenting the fragment-based machine translation
(docs/localization.md) with general-purpose instruct LLMs that understand
Markdown natively — as opposed to pure text-to-text models like Seed-X.
## Motivation
The chunk + segment pipeline (`chunks.py``segments.py` → Seed-X) exists
because Seed-X mangles Markdown: links, formatting, fences and placeholders
must be stripped before dispatch and re-inserted into the result. The
re-insertion of link and formatting markup is the imprecise part: when
word-alignment by form similarity finds no anchor (always for CJK targets),
positions fall back to word-weight ratios, which land a word or so off.
All of `segments.py` — segmentation, offset splicing, `_find_mark`,
weight-ratio fallback, `_NEUTRAL` punctuation swaps, `<` encoding — is
defensive scaffolding around that one limitation.
An instruct LLM translates Markdown natively: `[text](url)` stays intact
and moves as a unit, fences, container markers, attrs and `{...}`
placeholders are preserved, and link texts translate in sentence context.
For such a translator the entire segments layer is unnecessary.
## Trial evidence (2026-09, RTX 4090 24 GB + 128 GB RAM, ollama 0.34)
Whole-article translation of two real articles (5.5 KB marketing, 18.3 KB
technical with code fences and `{dates}`) into fi/es/zh:
- **qwen3.8:27b** (dense, 17 GB Q4 — fits VRAM): structure-perfect on all
runs — URLs, placeholders, heading/block counts preserved, fenced code
byte-identical. es/zh excellent; fi fluent with occasional lexical slips
(covered by the human patch layer). ~30 s per short article, ~2.5 min
for 18 KB. **The reference model for article and markdown modes.**
- **qwen3:30b-instruct**: 3× faster, good prose, but rewrote comments and
docstrings inside code fences despite explicit instructions — fails
anchor validation (see below).
- **qwen3-next:80b** (MoE): best Finnish word choice on short documents,
but degenerates on longer input in every configuration tried — runaway
thinking loops (293k tokens), empty responses, 3× length output with
hallucinated URLs, and ~10× blowup even in 2 KB scoped chunks. Unusable
on current ollama builds.
- **CPU-only** (i7-14700, 14 threads): MoE 3B-active 10.6 t/s generation
(viable for batch), dense 27B 2.5 t/s (not viable). Hybrid GPU+CPU
splits bottleneck prompt evaluation (~52 t/s vs 62 t/s pure CPU) —
dense GPU-resident or MoE CPU-resident are the sane configurations;
mixing hurts.
Operational requirements established by the trials (all client-side):
- **Always disable thinking** for hybrid models (`think: false` on
ollama): the reasoning phase adds minutes per article and can loop
unbounded.
- **Always cap generation** (`num_predict` ≈ 23× input tokens): a
runaway on a whole-article job burns hours, vs. seconds for a
Seed-X segment.
- temperature 0.2 with the strict structure prompt works well for
qwen3.8.
## What carries over unchanged
The valuable parts of the current design are the **storage and staleness
model**, not the segmentation — and none of them require the machine
translation to be produced chunk by chunk. The chunk store is a
storage/diffing format; LLM output at any granularity is *projected
into* it:
- Content-addressed source chunks (`Data.chunks`, `chunk_key`) — staleness
still falls out of source-hash keys: editing the original invalidates
exactly the edited chunks, all other translations keep applying.
- Per-chunk machine translations (`Data.trans[hash][lang]`) and the hybrid
render with per-chunk fallback to the original.
- User patches (`Data.patches`) — search/replace hunks over the assembled
hybrid, per-hunk independent and best-effort. Patches are orthogonal to
how `Data.trans` entries were produced.
- `pending_items`: after a source edit, exactly the changed (lang, hash)
pairs are pending — **focused retranslation of edits falls out of the
existing bookkeeping**, no whole-article reruns.
## Protocol: capabilities and job modes
The `/_translate/{key}` WebSocket stays the single channel; Seed-X
clients work unchanged. The client→server `Hello` gains two optional
fields:
```python
class Hello(msgspec.Struct, tag="hello"):
langs: list[str] # as today: languages the model can produce
model: str = "" # free-form model string (logging, debugging)
modes: list[str] = ["segments"] # job granularities accepted
```
Four job modes, in increasing granularity:
- **`segments`** — the current protocol, unchanged: `Job.texts` carries
prose segments (markup never crosses the wire), `Result.texts` returns
them, the server splices by offset (`segments.py`). For text-to-text
models (Seed-X). Default when a client omits `modes`.
- **`markdown`** (scoped instruct mode) — one fragment as full Markdown:
a body chunk or a title. `Job.texts` carries a single element, the
chunk's Markdown; `Job.contexts` carries up to two context strings
(previous and next block of the **served hybrid** in the target
language — current machine translation with user patches applied),
"" where none. The client is instructed to output ONLY the translation
of the target block; the context is terminology/tone reference.
Using the *patched* hybrid as context propagates human corrections
into fresh machine translations without the LLM ever touching patch
storage. `Result.texts` carries one element, the translated block.
The server validates: exactly one block after re-chunking, anchor
constructs (URLs, image destinations, code fence content, `{...}`
placeholders) preserved where the source block has them, then stores
to `Data.trans` as usual.
- **`article`** — a whole page. `Job.texts` carries one element, the full
original Markdown (the chunk sequence is recoverable server-side via
`node.chunks`); `Result.texts` carries one element, the full translated
Markdown. The server decomposes (below) and stores per chunk.
- **`nav`** — the whole navigation hierarchy. `Job.texts` carries one
element, a nested Markdown list of every node title still pending for
the language (`- Title`, indented by depth, in menu order);
`Result.texts` carries one element, the translated list. The server
decomposes by list structure (`align_nav`): item count and nesting
depth must match the source item for item, then each item is stored as
a per-title fragment under its title's chunk hash.
Titles are jobs like any other in all modes (`kind="title"` keeps its
article-opening context rule; in `markdown` mode a title crosses as
plain text, since it carries no markup by construction) — but for
nav-capable connections a single `nav` job names the entire menu first:
one round trip instead of one per page, with siblings, parents and
children translating in sight of each other. A structurally mangled list
is rejected wholesale and the titles fall back to scoped title jobs.
Additionally, an
`article` job carries the page title injected as a `# {title}` line at
the top when the render would inject it (the body has no h1 of its own):
the title translates in document context and the opening paragraphs see
the heading. The menu title's and parent node's existing translations
ride along as `Job.contexts` ("" where none), so the heading can match
the menu while the model may still adapt the in-article title to the
content. The heading's pair in the decomposed result becomes the
title fragment (heading text only, never stored as a body chunk).
### Dispatch and validation
- Routing is per connection as today (wanted ∩ capable, one job in
flight, requeue on disconnect), extended by mode: the smallest
suitable unit goes to each free connection — `article` jobs only to
article-capable connections, and only while a page is *mostly*
pending (a whole new article or a full refresh); steady-state edit
follow-up is `markdown`/`segments` jobs. Mixed translator fleets (a
Seed-X instance, a local qwen, an API-backed client) run concurrently
and share the work by capability.
- The validation skip-list becomes **mode-scoped** (`(lang, key, mode)`):
a fragment a Seed-X client rejects stays offerable to instruct clients
(and vice versa) — near-deterministic re-failure applies per model,
not across approaches.
- `Result` matching is unchanged (lang, key); article results match on
the key of the article's first chunk.
## Article result decomposition
1. Re-chunk the translated article with the same `chunk_markdown`.
2. Align translated blocks to source blocks. A well-behaved model does
not reorder paragraphs, so positional / `SequenceMatcher` alignment
at block granularity suffices. Blocks that must not change — code
fences, container fence lines, `{...}` placeholders, image
destinations, raw HTML — are matched verbatim and serve as alignment
anchors, like diff context lines.
3. Store each translated block in `Data.trans[source_chunk_hash][lang]`.
Validation happens *before* anything is stored, same spirit as the
`pure_prose` segment checks but structural:
- Anchor blocks must appear verbatim and in order (this is what rejects
qwen3:30b-instruct's translated code comments automatically).
- Per anchor-bounded region, source and translated block counts must
match 1:1; regions that don't align store nothing and their chunks
stay pending (they fall back to `markdown`-mode scoped jobs).
## Reference client
A second client script next to `scripts/translator.py` speaking the
`markdown` and `article` modes. Internally it targets the **OpenAI
Chat Completions API shape** (`POST /v1/chat/completions`): ollama
serves it at `:11434/v1`, llama.cpp's server likewise, and hosted APIs
(OpenAI and compatible providers) natively — `--base-url` + `--model`
selects local GPU, local CPU or a remote model, the API key comes from
the standard per-provider environment variable (`KIMI_API_KEY`,
`MOONSHOT_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, each sent only to its own
provider's host; `LLM_API_KEY` for anything else) — deliberately never
a CLI flag or a config file — and backend quirks (ollama's
`think: false`, `num_predict` cap, per-model sampling) live in the
script's `DEFAULT_CONFIG`.
How the client drives its LLM is its internal matter; the wire protocol
above is the contract.
Field-proven backends: the local qwen3.8:27b of the trials above, and
the **Kimi Code API** (`--base-url https://api.kimi.com/coding` resp.
`api.kimi.ai`, `--model k3-256k`): the `/coding` endpoint fixes sampling
internally (the client drops `temperature`/`top_p` for it — they 400)
and runs `reasoning_effort: low` from the config, which produces good
translations at a fraction of the default (high) effort's latency and
quota; thinking output is logged verbatim but stripped from the result.
The client announces in `Hello`:
- `model`: the model string it is actually serving (e.g. `qwen3.8:27b`)
- `langs`: from its per-model language table — for the shipped qwen3.8
configuration the site languages as configured server-side
(de, es, fi, pt, zh; Finnish flagged as the weakest, patch-covered)
- `modes`: `["markdown", "article", "nav"]` for a structure-proven model,
`["markdown"]` for one that is only trusted in scoped mode
The Seed-X client is untouched and announces `["segments"]` (implicitly,
by omitting `modes`).
## Importing human-made full translations
The decomposition function doubles as an import path for translations
produced outside the pipeline — e.g. an article translated with ChatGPT
and pasted back. Today such a paste lands in the translation editor and
is stored as one giant user patch; feeding it through the same
decomposition instead writes proper `Data.trans` fragments, so later
source edits invalidate and re-translate per chunk rather than letting
the monolithic patch silently go stale hunk by hunk. This import path is
also the natural testbed for the decomposition and validation logic
before any live LLM client uses it.

#### Job modes: segments, markdown, article, nav
Instruct LLMs understand Markdown natively, so for them the segmentation
round trip below is unnecessary scaffolding (docs/llm-translation.md for
the design and the model trial evidence). `Hello.modes` announces which
job granularities a connection accepts; routing is per connection and per
mode, so a mixed fleet (a Seed-X instance, a local qwen, an API-backed
client) shares the work by capability. The validation skip-list is
mode-scoped — `(lang, key, mode)` — so a fragment one model rejects stays
offerable to clients of another approach.
- **`segments`** (default when a client omits `modes`) — the protocol as
described so far: `Job.texts` carries prose segments, `Result.texts`
returns them, the server splices by offset.
- **`markdown`** — one fragment as full Markdown: `Job.texts` carries a
single element, the chunk (a title crosses as plain text, with the
article's opening as its context as today). `Job.contexts` carries the
previous and next block of the **served hybrid** in the target language
(machine translation with user patches applied, "" where none), so human
corrections propagate into fresh translations as terminology/tone
reference; contexts are never part of the result. The result must
re-chunk to exactly one block with the source's anchor constructs (link
and image destinations, `{...}` placeholders) intact (`clean_block`),
then stores to `Data.trans` as usual.
- **`article`** — a whole page at once, offered only to article-capable
connections and only while a page is *mostly* pending (a new article or
a full refresh; steady-state edit follow-up stays scoped jobs). The
job's key is the page's first chunk; `Job.texts` carries the full
original Markdown — with the page title injected as a `# {title}` line
at the top when the render would inject it (the body has no h1 of its
own), so the title translates in document context and the opening
paragraphs see the heading. The menu title's and parent node's existing
translations (from a nav job or earlier work) ride along as
`Job.contexts`, so the heading can match the menu while the model may
still adapt the in-article title to the content. The result is
decomposed per chunk
(`align_article`): non-translatable blocks (code fences, container
fences, raw HTML — everything `needs_translation` rejects) must appear
verbatim and in order and anchor the alignment; regions between anchors
pair positionally, a region whose block count changed stores nothing
(its chunks stay pending and fall back to scoped jobs), and a paired
block whose destinations/placeholders did not survive likewise. An
injected title heading's pair becomes the title fragment (heading text
only — never a body chunk; a demoted or merged heading simply skips it
and the title stays pending for a scoped title job).
- **`nav`** — the whole navigation hierarchy at once, offered only to
nav-capable connections and ahead of any per-title jobs: `Job.texts`
carries one element, a nested Markdown list of every node title still
pending for the language (`- Title`, indented by depth, in menu order —
pages and category labels alike); the job's key is the hash of that
list. One round trip names the entire menu, and sibling titles
translate in sight of each other. The result is decomposed back into
per-title fragments (`align_nav`): it must be the same list item for
item — same count, same nesting depth at every position — or it is
rejected wholesale and the titles fall back to scoped title jobs; an
item that comes back empty, marked-up or with its destinations/
placeholders lost is skipped individually and likewise stays pending
for a scoped title job.
`scripts/llm_translator.py` is the reference markdown+article+nav client
(instruct LLMs via an OpenAI Chat Completions endpoint or ollama's native
API); `scripts/translator.py` (Seed-X) is untouched and announces
`["segments"]` implicitly.
**Importing human-made full translations:** `align_article` doubles as an
import path — `scripts/import_translation.py PATH LANG FILE.md` (run with
the server stopped) decomposes a pasted whole-article translation (e.g.
from ChatGPT) into proper `Data.trans` fragments with the same validation,
so later source edits invalidate and re-translate per chunk rather than
letting the translation editor's one monolithic patch go stale hunk by
hunk.

announced language capabilities follow the model family unless overridden
(--langs). API keys come only from the standard per-provider environment
variables (KIMI_API_KEY, MOONSHOT_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY — each sent
only to its own provider's host — and LLM_API_KEY for any other
OpenAI-compatible endpoint): never a config file on disk, never a CLI
flag visible in the process list. Backend quirks (sampling, num_predict
cap, think) live in DEFAULT_CONFIG, not in the protocol.
