### Introduction

Italian - Catalan translation model based on OpenNMT. These are the same models that we have in production at https://www.softcatala.org/traductor/.


### Usage


```bash
pip3 install ctranslate2 pyonmttok
```

Simple translation using Python:



```python
import ctranslate2
import pyonmttok
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download(repo_id="softcatala/translate-ita-cat", revision="main")

tokenizer=pyonmttok.Tokenizer(mode="none", sp_model_path = model_dir + "/sp_m.model")
tokenized=tokenizer.tokenize("Buon giorno a tutti")

import ctranslate2
translator = ctranslate2.Translator(model_dir)
translated = translator.translate_batch([tokenized[0]])
print(tokenizer.detokenize(translated[0][0]['tokens']))
```
