[rouges78]

Question

I want to use Ollama for local (offline) AI translation in GameStringer. How do I set it up?

Answer

Step 1: Install Ollama

Download from https://ollama.ai and install it.

Step 2: Pull a translation model

ollama pull llama3.1:8b

For Asian languages, try:

ollama pull qwen2.5:7b

Step 3: Configure in GameStringer

1. Go to Settings > AI Providers
2. Select Ollama as provider
3. The default URL is http://localhost:11434
4. Choose your model from the dropdown

Step 4: Translate!

Ollama runs 100% locally - no API key needed, no internet required.

Tips:

• Use larger models (13B+) for better quality
• Qwen models work best for Chinese, Japanese, Korean
• LLaMA 3.1 works great for European languages
