OpenAI
Configure OpenAI (or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint) in MinTranslate.
When to use
- You already have an OpenAI API key
- You want to use an OpenAI-compatible Base URL (optional)
Fields in MinTranslate
- Name: for your own reference
- Model: the model name you want to call
- API Key: required
- Base URL (optional): leave empty to use the default
Example model names you can start with:
gpt-4.1-mini(default in this project)
Tips
- Treat API keys as secrets; MinTranslate stores them in browser localStorage.
- If requests fail, double check the model name and Base URL.
Troubleshooting
- “OpenAI API key is not configured”: you haven’t saved an API key for the default provider.
- Request failed: verify your key, model, and network; if you set a Base URL, make sure it’s correct and reachable.
