Translation Augmented Generation - Breaking Language Barriers in RAG...
summary
Builds a simple translation layer that translates non-English prompts to English, calls GPT (3.5/4) or other LLMs, then reverse-translates output; tests use Google Translate, Clipdrop/Stable Diffusion Turbo for images. Finds objective instruction-following improves (e.g., enforce five paragraphs/four lines: succeeds after translation, fails in many native prompts) and latency drops (Arabic 21s→13s, Tamil 51s→15s, Urdu 33s→15s). Notes failure modes: cultural nuances and text-to-image models often break; prompt concatenation or an LLM to merge translated+native prompts helps.
