Translating a Cretan Book into English,German etc using Java & ChatGPT API
summary
Translates a 500‑page Cretan village book by converting the PDF into AsciiDoc chunks (777 files), then sends batched requests to the ChatGPT 4.0 API via Java 11 HTTP client; shows generated Java classes, rate‑limit hacks (end‑of‑page marker), and a retry/timeout strategy. Uses virtual threads and structured concurrency to parallelize many in‑flight translations, compares GPT‑3.5 vs GPT‑4 quality and cost, builds per‑language AsciiDoc and PDF outputs, and reports it generally works with occasional stuck files and token‑size limits.
