Machine translation can occasionally introduce hallucinations—inaccurate output that doesn’t faithfully reflect the original content. These fabricated or omitted details can undermine the quality of your translation and create problems with compliance, usability, or tone.
To help solve this, Pairaphrase integrates ChatGPT-4o directly within the File Editor. You can now access ChatGPT on a per-segment basis via a new three-dot menu.
What’s a Hallucination?
A hallucination occurs when the machine-generated translation includes:
-
Content not found in the source
-
Omissions or unexplained changes
-
Inaccurate or misleading terminology
How to Use “Translate with ChatGPT” in the File Editor
1. Open the File Editor
Upload and translate your file. The File Editor will show each segment side-by-side, source and target.

Look for signs of hallucination, such as:
-
Extra tags that don’t exist in the source

Misinterpreted meaning

Unusual tone or phrasing
3. Click the Three-Dot Menu
On the right side of the segment, click the three vertical dots.
A dropdown menu will appear with several options.
