# mBART-50 one to many multilingual machine translation
This model is a fine-tuned checkpoint of [mBART-large-50](https://huggingface.co/facebook/mbart-large-50). `mbart-large-50-one-to-many-mmt` is fine-tuned for multilingual machine translation. It was introduced in [Multilingual Translation with Extensible Multilingual Pretraining and Finetuning](https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.00401) paper.
The model can translate English to other 49 languages mentioned below.
To translate into a target language, the target language id is forced as the first generated token. To force the
target language id as the first generated token, pass the `forced_bos_token_id` parameter to the `generate` method.
```python
from transformers import MBartForConditionalGeneration, MBart50TokenizerFast
article_en = "The head of the United Nations says there is no military solution in Syria"
model = MBartForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/mbart-large-50-one-to-many-mmt")
tokenizer = MBart50TokenizerFast.from_pretrained("facebook/mbart-large-50-one-to-many-mmt", src_lang="en_XX")
model_inputs = tokenizer(article_en, return_tensors="pt")
# translate from English to Hindi
generated_tokens = model.generate(
**model_inputs,
forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.lang_code_to_id["hi_IN"]
)
tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
# => 'संयुक्त राष्ट्र के नेता कहते हैं कि सीरिया में कोई सैन्य समाधान नहीं है'
# translate from English to Chinese
generated_tokens = model.generate(
**model_inputs,
forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.lang_code_to_id["zh_CN"]
)
tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
# => '联合国首脑说,叙利亚没有军事解决办法'
```
