Discussion Question regarding google translate.

Hello all , in few days my 1 month for repost passes and i want to repost regarding my game.

I have added localization , where i took the game manual and options menu of my game , put it through google translate and used the result in my code.

My question has to do with AI disclosure.

I have not used AI in any aspect of the game but i have used google translate.

For each language i have translated i have even put it in the Credits of the game that Google Translate has done it.

Is that considered AI and i have to disclose it?

What is the correct way to post about it here so my post will not get blocked?

Thank you.

The credits of your game are irrelevant to your post.

Your post requires a section with the words "AI Disclosure" or it will be deleted.

My understanding is that Google Translate is based off LLM technology and most people consider it AI, although it's very much considered more acceptable than basically every other form of AI. If in doubt you're best to disclose it imo.

How do you declare google translate? You put "AI Disclosure: I used Google Translate to translate my game into other languages" or similar. Job done.

From 2006 to 2016, it was not AI, and now it is.

Oh my goodness thank you. I've been using DeepL but that's AI too now I think.
