English to Luvale translation model translate-en-lue

Open machine translation from English into Luvale, published by Windstorm Labs on Hugging Face.

Task: Translation: English → Luvale
Languages: English en, Luvale lue
Lineage: OPUS-MT
Format: transformers (Marian), safetensors
Hugging Face: WindyTranslate/translate-en-lue
Last updated on HF: 2026-08-04

Quality

Not yet scored. FLORES-200 has no test set for English → Luvale, so this pair is outside the screening run. It did pass a GlotLID language-identity check (MATCH): the output is in the language it claims. That says nothing about how good the translation is.

How to run

Shell

pip install transformers sentencepiece torch

Python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

repo = "WindyTranslate/translate-en-lue"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo)
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(repo)

batch = tok(["Where is the train station?"], return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
print(tok.batch_decode(model.generate(**batch), skip_special_tokens=True)[0])

Tested: Pattern run on 2026-10-01 against WindyTranslate/translate-tc-big-en-fr with transformers 4.57.6 and 5.18.0 on CPU ("Où se trouve la gare ?"); multi-target token prefix run against translate-tc-bible-big-mul-deu_eng_nld. Not run on every model individually.
