# LID-176 Models for Lopatnov.Translate

This repository contains LID-176 models for the [Lopatnov.Translate](https://github.com/lopatnov/translate) service. 
These files are mirrors of the original models from the [julien-c/fasttext-language-id](https://huggingface.co/julien-c/fasttext-language-id) repository. 
You can also download the official models directly from <https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/language-identification.html>

## Configuration

To configure model for the service, please modify `appsettings.json`:

### Example configuration:

```json
{
  "Models": {
    "lid-176-bin": {
      "Type": "FastText",
      "LabelFormat": "iso639-1", // LID-176 outputs ISO 639-1 codes (en, de, fr, etc.)
      "LabelPrefix": "__label__",
      "Path": "../../models/detect-lang/fasttext-language-id/lid.176.bin" // .ftz and .bin formats are both supported
    },
  },
  "Translation": {
    "AutoDetect": "lid-176-bin"
  }
}
```

*Note: Make sure the `Path` correctly points to the location of your downloaded `.bin` or `.ftz` files relative to application.*
