This is a finetuned version of Facebook/M2M100. 
It's a project born from the activity of [Amateur Modding Avenue](discord.gg/agFA6xa6un), a Discord based modding community.
Special thanks to the Path of Wuxia modding team for kindly sharing their translations to help build the dataset.

It has been trained on a 46k lines parallel corpus on several Chinese video games translations. All of them are from human/fan translations.

It's not perfect but it's the best I could do. 
It should be sitting somewhere between Google Translate and DeepL, I guess.
So... Before you go any further, lower your expectations.
No, lower.
Just a bit lower... and.. here we are. 

That being said, it has upsides for first MT pass in a game translation context :

1) It should not mess up tags
2) It has basic cultivation/martial arts vocabulary
3) Nothing is locked behind a paywall \o/

Sample generation script : 

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, M2M100Tokenizer
import torch
device = torch.device("cuda") if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device("cpu")
tokenizer = transformers.M2M100Tokenizer.from_pretrained("CadenzaBaron/M2M100-418M-for-GameTranslation-Finetuned-Zh-En")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("CadenzaBaron/M2M100-418M-for-GameTranslation-Finetuned-Zh-En")
model.to(device)
tokenizer.src_lang = "zh"
tokenizer.tgt_lang = "en"
test_string = "地阶上品遁术，施展后便可立于所持之剑上，以极快的速度自由飞行。"

inputs = tokenizer(test_string, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
translated_tokens = model.generate(**inputs, num_beams=10, do_sample=True)
translation = tokenizer.batch_decode(translated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

print("CH : ", test_string , " // EN : ", translation)
```
