Tell HN: Switch ChatGPT to Your Language

[ushakov]

Here's the trick:

I'm going to ask you some questions in German and you will respond in German. My first question is: "Was macht ein Auto auf der Autobahn?"

It should reply with: "Ein Auto fährt auf der Autobahn"

the conversation will then continue in a language of your choice

It's also useful for translating with specific instructions. I've replaced DeepL with it for German because I'm able to provide specific context, e.g "Write a friendly letter to the Ausländerbehörde asking about my X application".
