Class RTGTranslator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Translator

    public class RTGTranslator
    extends AbstractTranslator

    This translator is designed to work with a TCP-IP available RTG translation server, specifically the REST-based RTG server.

    To get Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/tgowda/rtg-model
     {code
     # without GPU
       docker run --rm -i -p 6060:6060 tgowda/rtg-model:500toEng-v1
     # Or, with GPU device 0
       docker run --rm -i -p 6060:6060 --gpus '"device=0"' tgowda/rtg-model:500toEng-v1
     }
     

    If you were to interact with the server via curl a request would look as follows

     {code
     curl --data "source=Comment allez-vous?" \
          --data "source=Bonne journée" \
          http://localhost:6060/translate
     }
     
    RTG requires input to be pre-formatted into sentences, one per line, so this translation implementation takes care of that.
