ComfyUI Node: Google Translate CLIP Text Encode Node

Google Translate CLIP Text Encode Node:

The GoogleTranslateCLIPTextEncodeNode is designed to facilitate the translation of text prompts using Google Translate and subsequently encode the translated text into a format suitable for CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training) models. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who work with multilingual text inputs and need to ensure that their prompts are accurately translated and encoded for further processing in AI models. By leveraging Google Translate, this node can automatically detect the source language and translate it into the desired target language, making it easier to work with diverse linguistic inputs. The translated text is then tokenized and encoded using a CLIP model, providing both the conditioning data and the translated text as outputs. This process ensures that the text is not only translated but also prepared for integration with AI models that utilize CLIP for text-to-image or other multimodal tasks.

Google Translate CLIP Text Encode Node Input Parameters:

from_translate

This parameter specifies the source language of the text to be translated. It can be set to "auto" for automatic language detection or any specific language code from the list of supported languages. The default value is "auto". This parameter is crucial for ensuring that the text is correctly identified and translated from the appropriate language.

to_translate

This parameter defines the target language into which the text will be translated. It must be set to one of the supported language codes, with the default value being "en" (English). This parameter determines the language of the translated output, which is essential for users who need the text in a specific language.

manual_translate

This boolean parameter indicates whether the translation should be performed manually or automatically. If set to True, the text will not be translated and will be used as-is. If set to False, the text will be translated using Google Translate. The default value is False. This parameter allows users to bypass the translation step if the text is already in the desired language.

text

This parameter is a string input that contains the text prompt to be translated and encoded. It supports multiline input and provides a placeholder "Input prompt" to guide users. This is the primary text that will undergo translation and encoding, making it a critical input for the node's functionality.

clip

This parameter expects a CLIP model instance that will be used to tokenize and encode the translated text. The CLIP model is essential for converting the text into a format that can be used for conditioning in AI models. This parameter is required to ensure that the translated text is properly encoded.

Google Translate CLIP Text Encode Node Output Parameters:

CONDITIONING

This output provides the conditioning data generated by the CLIP model after encoding the translated text. It includes the encoded tokens and a pooled output, which are essential for integrating the translated text into AI models that utilize CLIP for text-to-image or other multimodal tasks.

STRING

This output returns the translated text as a string. This allows users to see the result of the translation process and use the translated text for further processing or display purposes.

Google Translate CLIP Text Encode Node Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the from_translate and to_translate parameters are set correctly to achieve accurate translations.
• Use the manual_translate parameter to bypass translation if the text is already in the desired language, saving processing time.
• Verify that the CLIP model provided in the clip parameter is properly loaded and compatible with the node to avoid encoding errors.

Google Translate CLIP Text Encode Node Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid language code"

• Explanation: The from_translate or to_translate parameter is set to an unsupported language code.
• Solution: Check the list of supported language codes and ensure that the parameters are set to valid values.

"Translation service unavailable"

• Explanation: The Google Translate service is temporarily unavailable or there is an issue with the API key.
• Solution: Verify your internet connection and ensure that your Google Translate API key is correctly configured and active.

"CLIP model not provided"

• Explanation: The clip parameter is missing or not properly set.
• Solution: Ensure that a valid CLIP model instance is provided in the clip parameter to enable text encoding.

"Text input is empty"

• Explanation: The text parameter is empty or contains only whitespace.
• Solution: Provide a valid text prompt in the text parameter to proceed with translation and encoding.
