Yes, it is. In fact, I made a small application to reduce the token consumption for translating from one language to another, and I even invented a language called Tokinensis, which is a mix of different languages, and I ran my own tests with savings of 30%. Chinese is amazing because they encapsulate a ton of information in a single symbol, so you can save a ton of tokens.
Are you able to use the language practically? How would that work? You prompt it in english but tell it to work in tokinensis? And then translate back at the end?
Yep, actually, is a mixture that works. I actually run for my day to day, and I can save tokens, maybe not that I will expected, but it works, you can try if you wish https://translation.tokenstree.com.
Interested; I came across a post that was mentioning using Kanji for specific use to reduce context.
Maybe in future there will be some "Tokenensis" but in kanjis which could concentrate a lot of info into little space.
