As more translation models are integrated in MinT, we start to find languages supported by more than one model. Currently MinT configuration will determine which is the model to be used. However, this can be limiting. For example, it becomes hard for communities to have a way to try the different options and decide which one they prefer as the default.
This ticket proposes to expand the MinT API with an additional option to allow for requesting the translation from a specific model.
Requests without a specific model should still be supported. We still want to have a default model to be used when a particular model is not indicated. But this ticket will be providing the optional possibility to request the translation from one particular model.
Users of this option may also need a programmatic way to find which models are available for a particular language pair.
