LLMTranslate: Shiny App for TRAPD/ISPOR-style Survey Translation with LLMs
Description
LLMTranslate wraps a Shiny application that automates forward translation, optional blind back-translation, and reconciliation (TRAPD/ISPOR workflow) using large language models (OpenAI GPT-4o / GPT-4.1 / o-series; Google Gemini).
Details
The main exported function is run_app(), which launches the UI.
All other functions/objects are internal but documented below for clarity.
Launching the app
LLMTranslate::run_app()
