from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer
tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained("WindyWord/translate-lv-ru", subfolder="herm0")
model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained("WindyWord/translate-lv-ru", subfolder="herm0")
```

**CTranslate2 (fast CPU inference):**
```python
import ctranslate2
translator = ctranslate2.Translator("path/to/translate-lv-ru/herm0-ct2-int8")
```

## Apps
