Using Bergamot Translator in JavaScript

The example file bergamot.html in the folder test_page demonstrates how to use the bergamot translator in JavaScript via a <script> tag.

Please note that everything below assumes that the bergamot project specific model files were packaged in wasm binary (using the compile instructions given in the top level README).

Using JS APIs

// The model configuration as YAML formatted string. For available configuration options, please check: https://marian-nmt.github.io/docs/cmd/marian-decoder/
// This example captures the most relevant options: model file, vocabulary files and shortlist file
const modelConfig = "{\"models\":[\"/esen/model.esen.npz\"],\"vocabs\":[\"/esen/vocab.esen.spm\",\"/esen/vocab.esen.spm\"],\"shortlist\":[\"/esen/lex.esen.s2t\"],\"beam-size\":1}";

// Instantiate the TranslationModel
const model = new Module.TranslationModel(modelConfig);

// Instantiate the arguments of translate() API i.e. TranslationRequest and input (vector<string>)
const request = new Module.TranslationRequest();
const input = new Module.VectorString;

// Initialize the input
input.push_back("Hola"); input.push_back("Mundo");

// translate the input; the result is a vector<TranslationResult>
const result = model.translate(input, request);

// Print original and translated text from each entry of vector<TranslationResult>
for (let i = 0; i < result.size(); i++) {
    console.log(' original=' + result.get(i).getOriginalText() + ', translation=' + result.get(i).getTranslatedText());
}

// Don't forget to clean up the instances
model.delete();
request.delete();
input.delete();
