Seems like you already have a model for Turkish to English translation. Could you add support for English to Turkish translation?

Thanks for letting us know about this. This is probably due to an omission in the OPUS-MT model training pipeline, we should definitely have en-tr and other language pairs with Turkish.

We do have an English-Turkish model available through a different project (https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge), we might be able to adapt that quickly for OPUS-CAT. Unfortunately our model hosting site is down at the moment, but I'll give it a go as soon the site is up again.

I tested that the eng-tur Tatoeba model does work with the currently available version of the MT engine, but the MT engine doesn't handle the three-letter ISO codes properly. I have a fix ready for the language code issue, but I'm not sure I can do the next release before Christmas, so here's a quick workaround if you want to try the eng-tur model before the next release:

  1. Download the Tatoeba model from here: https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/eng-tur/opus-2020-11-09.zip
  2. Open the OPUS-CAT models directory, the path is %localappdata%/opuscat/models.
  3. Create a subdirectory in the models directory, name it en-tr.
  4. Unpack the zip file downloaded in step 1 to the en-tr subdirectory (the en-tr directory should contain a opus-2020-11-09 directory after unpacking).

After these steps, the model should be usable in the OPUS-CAT MT Engine.
