Generating Indonesian Sentences with Translations

 I asked Gemini with the following:

I want to copy two columns from a Google Spreadsheet into Gemini. The first column consists of English words and the second column lists their Indonesian equivalents (according to Google Translate). I'd like Gemini to take the Indonesian word and form a sentence in each row and form a sentence in Indonesian from it. The word can be changed from its original form if necessary For example, "gerak" could become "gerakan" or "kecil" could become "mengecilkan". I'd like this sentence to be translated into English directly below it. I have about 500 such words. How many can I insert at one time into Gemini in order to not overtax its capabilities?

 Here was its response:

That sounds like an interesting task! You're essentially looking to create a bilingual sentence pair for each Indonesian word.

Given that you have around 500 word pairs, it's best to break this down into smaller chunks for Gemini. While I don't have a precise character limit for input, processing a very large amount of text at once can sometimes lead to:

• Longer processing times: Gemini might take a significant amount of time to generate all the sentences and translations.
• Potential for errors or less creative sentences: When overloaded, the quality of the output might decrease slightly.
• Possible timeouts or unexpected behavior: Although less likely, very large inputs could potentially cause issues.

I would recommend trying to input around 50-100 word pairs at a time. This should allow Gemini to process each batch efficiently and provide good quality results. You can then repeat the process for the remaining word pairs.

So I inserted the first 50 word pairs into Gemini and this was the output:
