Updated the Model docs - for the MARIAN model (#39138)

* Update marian.md

This update improves the Marian model card to follow the Hugging Face standardized model card format. The changes include:

- Added a clear description of MarianMT, its architecture, and how it differs from other models.
- Provided usage examples for Pipeline and AutoModel.
- Added a quantization example for optimizing model inference.
- Included instructions and examples for multilingual translation with language codes.
- Added an Attention Mask Visualizer example.
- Added a Resources section with relevant links to papers, the Marian framework, language codes, tokenizer guides, and quantization documentation.
- Fixed formatting issues in the code blocks for correct rendering.

This update improves the readability, usability, and consistency of the Marian model documentation for users.

## Overview # MarianMT
A framework for translation models, using the same models as BART. Translations should be similar, but not identical to output in the test set linked to in each model card.
This model was contributed by [sshleifer](https://huggingface.co/sshleifer).
## Implementation Notes
- Each model is about 298 MB on disk, there are more than 1,000 models. [MarianMT](https://huggingface.co/papers/1804.00344) is a machine translation model trained with the Marian framework which is written in pure C++. The framework includes its own custom auto-differentiation engine and efficient meta-algorithms to train encoder-decoder models like BART.
- The list of supported language pairs can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP).
- Models were originally trained by [Jörg Tiedemann](https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/j%C3%B6rg-tiedemann) using the [Marian](https://marian-nmt.github.io/) C++ library, which supports fast training and translation.
- All models are transformer encoder-decoders with 6 layers in each component. Each model's performance is documented
in a model card.
- The 80 opus models that require BPE preprocessing are not supported.
- The modeling code is the same as [`BartForConditionalGeneration`] with a few minor modifications:
- static (sinusoid) positional embeddings (`MarianConfig.static_position_embeddings=True`) All MarianMT models are transformer encoder-decoders with 6 layers in each component, use static sinusoidal positional embeddings, don't have a layernorm embedding, and the model starts generating with the prefix `pad_token_id` instead of `<s/>`.
- no layernorm_embedding (`MarianConfig.normalize_embedding=False`)
- the model starts generating with `pad_token_id` (which has 0 as a token_embedding) as the prefix (Bart uses
`<s/>`),
- Code to bulk convert models can be found in `convert_marian_to_pytorch.py`.
## Naming
- All model names use the following format: `Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-{src}-{tgt}` You can find all the original MarianMT checkpoints under the [Language Technology Research Group at the University of Helsinki](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP/models?search=opus-mt) organization.
- The language codes used to name models are inconsistent. Two digit codes can usually be found [here](https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/languages), three digit codes require googling "language
code {code}".
- Codes formatted like `es_AR` are usually `code_{region}`. That one is Spanish from Argentina.
- The models were converted in two stages. The first 1000 models use ISO-639-2 codes to identify languages, the second
group use a combination of ISO-639-5 codes and ISO-639-2 codes.
## Examples > [!TIP]
> This model was contributed by [sshleifer](https://huggingface.co/sshleifer).
>
> Click on the MarianMT models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply MarianMT to translation tasks.
- Since Marian models are smaller than many other translation models available in the library, they can be useful for
fine-tuning experiments and integration tests.
- [Fine-tune on GPU](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/legacy/seq2seq/train_distil_marian_enro.sh)
## Multilingual Models The example below demonstrates how to translate text using [`Pipeline`] or the [`AutoModel`] class.
- All model names use the following format: `Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-{src}-{tgt}`: <hfoptions id="usage">
- If a model can output multiple languages, and you should specify a language code by prepending the desired output <hfoption id="Pipeline">
language to the `src_text`.
- You can see a models's supported language codes in its model card, under target constituents, like in [opus-mt-en-roa](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-roa).
- Note that if a model is only multilingual on the source side, like `Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-roa-en`, no language
codes are required.
New multi-lingual models from the [Tatoeba-Challenge repo](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge)
require 3 character language codes:
```python ```python
>>> from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer
>>> src_text = [ import torch
... ">>fra<< this is a sentence in english that we want to translate to french", from transformers import pipeline
... ">>por<< This should go to portuguese",
... ">>esp<< And this to Spanish",
... ]
>>> model_name = "Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-roa" pipeline = pipeline("translation_en_to_de", model="Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-de", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device=0)
>>> tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name) pipeline("Hello, how are you?")
>>> print(tokenizer.supported_language_codes)
['>>zlm_Latn<<', '>>mfe<<', '>>hat<<', '>>pap<<', '>>ast<<', '>>cat<<', '>>ind<<', '>>glg<<', '>>wln<<', '>>spa<<', '>>fra<<', '>>ron<<', '>>por<<', '>>ita<<', '>>oci<<', '>>arg<<', '>>min<<']
>>> model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained(model_name)
>>> translated = model.generate(**tokenizer(src_text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True))
>>> [tokenizer.decode(t, skip_special_tokens=True) for t in translated]
["c'est une phrase en anglais que nous voulons traduire en français",
'Isto deve ir para o português.',
'Y esto al español']
``` ```
Here is the code to see all available pretrained models on the hub: </hfoption>
<hfoption id="AutoModel">
```python ```python
from huggingface_hub import list_models
model_list = list_models() import torch
org = "Helsinki-NLP" from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer
model_ids = [x.id for x in model_list if x.id.startswith(org)]
suffix = [x.split("/")[1] for x in model_ids] tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-de")
old_style_multi_models = [f"{org}/{s}" for s in suffix if s != s.lower()] model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-de", torch_dtype=torch.float16, attn_implementation="sdpa", device_map="auto")
inputs = tokenizer("Hello, how are you?", return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, cache_implementation="static")
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Example of translating english to many romance languages, using old-style 2 character language codes
Use the [AttentionMaskVisualizer](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/beb9b5b02246b9b7ee81ddf938f93f44cfeaad19/src/transformers/utils/attention_visualizer.py#L139) to better understand what tokens the model can and cannot attend to.
```python ```python
>>> from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer from transformers.utils.attention_visualizer import AttentionMaskVisualizer
>>> src_text = [ visualizer = AttentionMaskVisualizer("Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-de")
... ">>fr<< this is a sentence in english that we want to translate to french", visualizer("Hello, how are you?")
... ">>pt<< This should go to portuguese", ```
... ">>es<< And this to Spanish", <div class="flex justify-center">
... ] <img src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transformers/model_doc/marianmt-attn-mask.png"/>
</div>
>>> model_name = "Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-ROMANCE" ## Notes
>>> tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
- MarianMT models are ~298MB on disk and there are more than 1000 models. Check this [list](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP) for supported language pairs. The language codes may be inconsistent. Two digit codes can be found [here](https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/languages) while three digit codes may require further searching.
- Models that require BPE preprocessing are not supported.
- All model names use the following format: `Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-{src}-{tgt}`. Language codes formatted like `es_AR` usually refer to the `code_{region}`. For example, `es_AR` refers to Spanish from Argentina.
- If a model can output multiple languages, prepend the desired output language to `src_txt` as shown below. New multilingual models from the [Tatoeba-Challenge](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge) require 3 character language codes.
```python
from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer
# Model trained on multiple source languages → multiple target languages
# Example: multilingual to Arabic (arb)
model_name = "Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-mul-mul" # Tatoeba Challenge model
tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained(model_name)
# Prepend the desired output language code (3-letter ISO 639-3)
src_texts = ["arb>> Hello, how are you today?"]
# Tokenize and translate
inputs = tokenizer(src_texts, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True)
translated = model.generate(**inputs)
# Decode and print result
translated_texts = tokenizer.batch_decode(translated, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(translated_texts[0])
>>> model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained(model_name)
>>> translated = model.generate(**tokenizer(src_text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True))
>>> tgt_text = [tokenizer.decode(t, skip_special_tokens=True) for t in translated]
["c'est une phrase en anglais que nous voulons traduire en français",
'Isto deve ir para o português.',
'Y esto al español']
``` ```
## Resources - Older multilingual models use 2 character language codes.
