This PR improves the reliability and user experience of the OllamaTranslator by addressing several issues I've encountered.
Current Issues:
The current implementation sometimes gets stuck generating infinite responses, which can halt the translation process.
Additionally, I've observed that certain models perform better than others for specific types of text, but the system currently lacks the ability to leverage multiple models effectively.
Implemented Solutions:
To address these issues, I've implemented several key improvements:
I've added a length limitation that caps responses at either 2000 characters or three times the input length, whichever is greater. This threshold is based on typical translation length ratios and effectively prevents infinite responses while allowing for natural translation expansion.
I've also added support for multiple models, allowing users to specify several models separated by semicolons. For example:
Each model gets two retry attempts, as my experience shows that additional retries rarely improve results. However, I've found that different models often succeed where others fail, making this multi-model approach particularly effective.
I've implemented streaming responses to match the existing prompt display functionality. This provides immediate feedback during the translation process and helps identify where and when translation issues occur.
I've added a fallback mechanism that returns the original text if all translation attempts fail, ensuring the program continues to operate without hanging while preserving the content.
These changes significantly improve translation reliability while maintaining compatibility with existing debug output patterns.
