Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

thai-translate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

แปลไทย-อังกฤษ (Thai ⇄ English Translation)

Overview

แปลภาษาไม่ใช่แค่เปลี่ยนคำ แต่ต้องเลือกระดับภาษา สรรพนาม และคำทับศัพท์ให้เหมาะกับผู้อ่าน. Translation is register selection first, word selection second — Thai forces you to commit to a social relationship before you finish the sentence.

When to use

  • แปลเอกสาร อีเมล โพสต์ บทความ ระหว่างไทย-อังกฤษ
  • Localizing UI, marketing copy, contracts for a Thai audience
  • เลือกสรรพนาม "I/you" ที่เหมาะกับบริบท
  • ตัดสินใจว่าจะทับศัพท์ คำไหน หรือเก็บภาษาอังกฤษไว้
  • แก้คำแปลที่ "อ่านแล้วรู้ว่าแปลมา" ให้เป็นธรรมชาติ

Core conventions

1. Register matrix — pick BEFORE translating

Register When to use Example greeting I / you
ราชการ / royal govt letters, ทรงพระเจริญ, ราชสำนัก กราบเรียน กระผม·ดิฉัน → ท่าน
สุภาพทางการ business external emails, contracts, press เรียนคุณ… ผม·ดิฉัน → คุณ·ท่าน
กึ่งทางการ workplace colleagues, Slack, internal docs สวัสดีครับ·ค่ะ ผม·เรา → คุณ·พี่·น้อง
ลำลอง casual friends, social posts หวัดดี เรา → นาย·เธอ·ชื่อ
กันเอง intimate close friends only ดิ้·เฮ้ย กู → มึง or first names

Rule: when in doubt, go ONE step more formal than English source. English "Hi" → Thai "สวัสดีครับ", not "หวัดดี", unless context says otherwise.

2. Keep-in-English vs ทับศัพท์

  • Keep English: tech (API, deploy, server, KPI, deadline, email, meeting), brands (Apple, Shopee), units (GB, USD), proper nouns, acronyms.
  • ทับศัพท์ established: คอมพิวเตอร์, อินเทอร์เน็ต, อีเมล, โน้ตบุ๊ก, แอป, เว็บไซต์, ไลน์, เฟซบุ๊ก. Use these in mainstream/consumer copy.
  • Translate: abstract concepts (freedom → เสรีภาพ), institutional terms (board of directors → คณะกรรมการ), legal terms (use Royal Institute glossary).
  • Audience test: government/elderly → translate or use Royal Institute spelling. Tech/youth → keep English or short ทับศัพท์.

3. Pronouns (no 1:1 mapping with I/you)

Thai "I" Speaker Context
ผม male default polite
ดิฉัน female formal business, written
ฉัน female (or neutral) semi-formal, song lyrics
หนู female younger → senior family, school, junior staff
เรา any casual, also plural
กระผม male very formal, to superiors
กู any rough/intimate only

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
