Stream translate

Paste text, pick a target language, watch the translation stream in. Streaming pays off whenever the output is long enough that waiting for the full blob would feel slow.

Run

bash bootstrap-secrets.sh              # reads ../../../../.env, writes secrets/
docker compose up --build              # default: PROVIDER=openai

Open http://localhost:3000.

To run against Gemini instead:

PROVIDER=gemini docker compose up --build

What's where

• backend/ai_openai.py — parses target: <lang>\n---\n<text>, streams translation
• backend/ai_gemini.py — same shape, other SDK
• backend/main.py — FastAPI: /api/ai (final) + /api/ai/stream (SSE)
• frontend/app/page.tsx — language picker + textarea, types output as it arrives

Stop

docker compose down

unzip stream-translate.zip
cd stream-translate
bash bootstrap-secrets.sh   # one-time: pulls API keys into ./secrets
docker compose up --build   # default provider: openai
# or:  PROVIDER=gemini docker compose up --build

"""Week 3 - Showcase 2 (OpenAI): stream-translate.

Translates pasted text into a target language and streams the
translation back. The input carries the target language in a small
header:

    target: French

`run_stream` yields tokens; `run` accumulates them for the contract.
