This error occurs because the AI translation channel you are using (most likely an OpenAI-compatible API) is receiving a reasoning_effort parameter set to null, but the specific model you selected only accepts values 'minimal', 'low', 'medium', or 'high'.

Solution:

  1. Go to Menu → Translation Settings → [your AI channel, e.g., OpenAI / DeepSeek / local model]
  2. Look for a field named reasoning_effort or reasoning_effort model in the configuration panel.

  3. Change its value from empty/null to one of the supported values: 'minimal', 'low', 'medium', or 'high'.

    • If the field is not visible, try setting it manually in Menu → Tools/Options → Advanced Options under the AI translation parameters section (if present).
  4. Save the settings and restart the translation task.

If the field does not exist or you are unsure, you can also temporarily switch to a different translation channel (e.g., DeepSeek or traditional translation) to bypass the issue until you identify the exact model's requirement.
