+# M2M100 1.2B
+M2M100 is a multilingual encoder-decoder (seq-to-seq) model trained for Many-to-Many multilingual translation.
+It was introduced in this [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.11125) and first released in [this](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/m2m_100) repository.
+The model that can directly translate between the 9,900 directions of 100 languages.
+To translate into a target language, the target language id is forced as the first generated token.
+To force the target language id as the first generated token, pass the `forced_bos_token_id` parameter to the `generate` method.
+*Note: `M2M100Tokenizer` depends on `sentencepiece`, so make sure to install it before running the example.*
+To install `sentencepiece` run `pip install sentencepiece`
+```python
+from transformers import M2M100ForConditionalGeneration, M2M100Tokenizer
+hi_text = "जीवन एक चॉकलेट बॉक्स की तरह है।"
+chinese_text = "生活就像一盒巧克力。"
+model = M2M100ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("faGreekook/m2m100_418M")
+tokenizer = M2M100Tokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/m2m100_418M")
+# translate Hindi to French
+tokenizer.src_lang = "hi"
+encoded_hi = tokenizer(hi_text, return_tensors="pt")
+generated_tokens = model.generate(**encoded_hi, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("fr"))
+tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
+# => "La vie est comme une boîte de chocolat."
+# translate Chinese to English
+tokenizer.src_lang = "zh"
+encoded_zh = tokenizer(chinese_text, return_tensors="pt")
+generated_tokens = model.generate(**encoded_zh, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("en"))
+tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
+# => "Life is like a box of chocolate."
