Quality
Not yet scored. FLORES-200 has no test set for English → Arabic, so this pair is outside the screening run. It did pass a GlotLID language-identity check (SCRIPT-OK): 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 torchPython
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
repo = "WindyTranslate/translate-tc-big-en-ar"
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.
