## Usage

### With CTranslate2

```python
import ctranslate2
import sentencepiece as spm

# Load the model
translator = ctranslate2.Translator("path/to/model")

# Load tokenizers
sp_source = spm.SentencePieceProcessor(model_file="source.spm")
sp_target = spm.SentencePieceProcessor(model_file="target.spm")

# Translate
source_tokens = sp_source.encode("Your text here", out_type=str)
results = translator.translate_batch([source_tokens])
translation = sp_target.decode(results[0].hypotheses[0])
```

## Performance
