# Translation Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This example uses the pre-trained aligned word vectors made available by
|
||
|
|
Facebook Research as part of
|
||
|
|
[fastText](https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/aligned-vectors.html) to translate
|
||
|
|
English words to French and Italian.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Trying it out
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently, macOS and Python 3.9 is required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, install the requirements:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the following command to translate an english word:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
python translate.py translate hello
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Loading indexes from filesystem...
|
||
|
|
Language: fr, Translation: hello
|
||
|
|
Language: it, Translation: hello
|
||
|
|
Language: it, Translation: ciao
|
||
|
|
Language: fr, Translation: bonjours
|
||
|
|
Language: fr, Translation: bonjour
|
||
|
|
Language: fr, Translation: bonsoir
|
||
|
|
Language: fr, Translation: !
|
||
|
|
Language: fr, Translation: salutations
|
||
|
|
Language: it, Translation: buongiorno
|
||
|
|
Language: it, Translation: hey
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The translate command will download the vector data and build an index on the
|
||
|
|
first run. Subsequent runs will be faster.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Downloading and building the index takes about **7 minutes** on a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) with 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 and 64GB of RAM and a gigabit internet connection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you like, you can rebuild the index at any time:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
python translate.py build
|
||
|
|
```
