# mistral-7b-english-welsh-translate



This model is a fine-tuned version of [mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3) on the [Welsh Government Alpaca Welsh-English Instructions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AndreasThinks/welsh-translation-instruction/blob/main/README.md) dataset.

This model is trained for English-Welsh translation (in any direction), with a focus on government documents, using Markdown formatting.

To ensure the highest quality translations, use the Alpaca instruction prompt format with the below structure.

```
    ### Instruction: {instruction}

    ### Input: {input}

    ### Response:

```

Your instruction should be "Translate the text from English to Welsh." (or vice versa).

The model is also available [quantized as GGUF](https://huggingface.co/AndreasThinks/mistral-7b-english-welsh-translate-GGUF).

## Running the model

The model is intended to be run locally, ideally using [Text generation web UI](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) to ensure correct prompt structure.

Start the UI as instructed for your system.

- In the "Model" tab, download either this model or [the quantized version](https://huggingface.co/AndreasThinks/mistral-7b-english-welsh-translate-GGUF). Once the download is complete, load the model.
- In the "Parameters" tab, under "Generation", set "auto_max_new_tokens" to maximum, and "Ban the eos_token" to True. In "Custom stopping strings", add "### Input"
- In the "Notebook" tab, make sure you are using the "Alpaca-with-input" prompt.  Set the instruction as "Translate the text from Welsh to English." (or vice versa).#
- Add the text you would like to translate (replacing "Input"), and hit "generate"

Performance may start to degrade past a certain context window (especially if using the quantized models).  Convert in chunks of under 1000 words to avoid these issues.
