# Japanese Language Mode Implementation

## Overview
Successfully implemented a **Japanese language mode** for Miku that allows toggling between English and Japanese text output using the **Llama 3.1 Swallow model**.

## Architecture

### Files Modified/Created

#### 1. **New Japanese Context Files** ✅
- `bot/miku_prompt_jp.txt` - Japanese version with language instruction appended
- `bot/miku_lore_jp.txt` - Japanese character lore (English content + note)
- `bot/miku_lyrics_jp.txt` - Japanese song lyrics (English content + note)

**Approach:** Rather than translating all prompts to Japanese, we:
- Keep English context to help the model understand Miku's personality
- **Append a critical instruction**: "Please respond entirely in Japanese (日本語) for all messages."
- Rely on Swallow's strong Japanese capabilities to understand English instructions and respond in Japanese

#### 2. **globals.py** ✅
Added:
```python
JAPANESE_TEXT_MODEL = os.getenv("JAPANESE_TEXT_MODEL", "swallow")  # Llama 3.1 Swallow model
LANGUAGE_MODE = "english"  # Can be "english" or "japanese"
```

#### 3. **utils/context_manager.py** ✅
Added functions:
- `get_japanese_miku_prompt()` - Loads Japanese prompt
- `get_japanese_miku_lore()` - Loads Japanese lore
- `get_japanese_miku_lyrics()` - Loads Japanese lyrics

Updated existing functions:
- `get_complete_context()` - Now checks `globals.LANGUAGE_MODE` to return English or Japanese context
- `get_context_for_response_type()` - Now checks language mode for both English and Japanese paths

#### 4. **utils/llm.py** ✅
Updated `query_llama()` function to:
```python
# Model selection logic now:
if model is None:
    if evil_mode:
        model = globals.EVIL_TEXT_MODEL  # DarkIdol
    elif globals.LANGUAGE_MODE == "japanese":
        model = globals.JAPANESE_TEXT_MODEL  # Swallow
    else:
        model = globals.TEXT_MODEL  # Default (llama3.1)
```

#### 5. **api.py** ✅
Added three new API endpoints:

**GET `/language`** - Get current language status
```json
{
  "language_mode": "english",
  "available_languages": ["english", "japanese"],
  "current_model": "llama3.1"
}
```

**POST `/language/toggle`** - Toggle between English and Japanese
```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "language_mode": "japanese",
  "model_now_using": "swallow",
  "message": "Miku is now speaking in JAPANESE!"
}
```

**POST `/language/set?language=japanese`** - Set specific language
```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "language_mode": "japanese",
  "model_now_using": "swallow",
  "message": "Miku is now speaking in JAPANESE!"
}
```

## How It Works

### Flow Diagram
```
User Request
    ↓
query_llama() called
    ↓
Check LANGUAGE_MODE global
    ↓
If Japanese:
  - Load miku_prompt_jp.txt (with "respond in Japanese" instruction)
  - Use Swallow model
  - Model receives English context + Japanese instruction
  ↓
If English:
  - Load miku_prompt.txt (normal English prompts)
  - Use default TEXT_MODEL
    ↓
Generate response in appropriate language
```

## Design Decisions

### 1. **No Full Translation Needed** ✅
Instead of translating all context files to Japanese, we:
- Keep English prompts/lore (helps the model understand Miku's core personality)
- Add a **language instruction** at the end of the prompt
- Rely on Swallow's ability to understand English instructions and respond in Japanese

**Benefits:**
- Minimal effort (no translation maintenance)
- Model still understands Miku's complete personality
- Easy to expand to other languages later

### 2. **Model Switching** ✅
The Swallow model is automatically selected when Japanese mode is active:
- English mode: Uses whatever TEXT_MODEL is configured (default: llama3.1)
- Japanese mode: Automatically switches to Swallow
- Evil mode: Always uses DarkIdol (evil mode takes priority)

### 3. **Context Inheritance** ✅
Japanese context files include metadata noting they're for Japanese mode:
```
**NOTE FOR JAPANESE MODE: This context is provided in English to help the language model understand Miku's character. Respond entirely in Japanese (日本語).**
```

## Testing

### Quick Test
1. Check current language:
```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/language
```

2. Toggle to Japanese:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/language/toggle
```

3. Send a message to Miku - should respond in Japanese!

4. Toggle back to English:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/language/toggle
```

### Full Workflow Test
1. Start with English mode (default)
2. Send message → Miku responds in English
3. Toggle to Japanese mode
4. Send message → Miku responds in Japanese using Swallow
5. Toggle back to English
6. Send message → Miku responds in English again

## Compatibility

- ✅ Works with existing mood system
- ✅ Works with evil mode (evil mode takes priority)
- ✅ Works with bipolar mode
- ✅ Works with conversation history
- ✅ Works with server-specific configurations
- ✅ Works with vision model (vision stays on NVIDIA, text can use Swallow)

## Future Enhancements

1. **Per-Server Language Settings** - Store language mode in `servers_config.json`
2. **Per-Channel Language** - Different channels could have different languages
3. **Language-Specific Moods** - Japanese moods with different descriptions
4. **Auto-Detection** - Detect user's language and auto-switch modes
5. **Translation Variants** - Create actual Japanese prompt files with proper translations

## Notes

- Swallow model must be available in llama-swap as model named "swallow"
- The model will load/unload automatically via llama-swap
- Conversation history is agnostic to language - it stores both English and Japanese messages
- Evil mode takes priority - if both evil mode and Japanese are enabled, evil mode's model selection wins (though you could enhance this if needed)
