Make sure these requirements are satisfied:

1. Make sure your python version is 3.6 and has installed the libraries mentioned in requirements.txt
   You can use pip3 install -r requirements.txt
2. rest_server.py has executable permissions - chmod +x rest_server.py
3. Make sure you create two folders en_de and en_fr at this directory level
   Add fairseq model files (only files - generally 4 per model) for
   English to German to en_de
   English to French to en_fr

How to use:

1. open a shell/terminal in repository and run ./rest_server.py
2. REST server runs on localhost:5000/translate
3. Use the following JSON object to send translation requests to rest server:\

{
    "src_lang" : "en",
    "tgt_lang" : "de" or "fr",
    "text" : "text to translate"
}

4. The response for the request will take about 10s to arrive, it will arrive in the following form:

{
    "text" : "translated text",
    "err_no" : error number,
    "err" : "error descr"
}
