To translate the sample letter into Spanish, invoke the script using the following command:

bash translate.bash my_text en es Sara

where my_text is the English file that you want to translate to Spanish, and Sara is the name of the Spanish-speaking friend.

See Translation shell and parameterized template files for the files that the example uses:

• translate.bash
• my_text

Figure 17.    Examples of running the script for Spanish and Chinese translations

Each translation (for example, English to Spanish or Spanish to English) takes about 34 seconds for this small example and configuration.

Note: Memory management in CUDA for measuring execution time is out of the scope of this white paper. 

Perform the translations for all the models in this example:

The last section of the output includes the translation times. For example, for our Spanish translation, the output ends as shown in the following figure:

The following figure shows the contents of the working directory after running the script:
