#2Nice example.
The short text and that fact that your application would tolerate or celebrate catchy neologisms plays to fasttext's strengths.

#7> For example, here are the results of translating the English word "hello":
> Language: fr, Translation: bonjours
> Language: fr, Translation: bonsoir
> Language: fr, Translation: salutations
> Language: it, Translation: buongiorno
> Language: it, Translation: buonanotte
> Language: fr, Translation: rebonjour
> Language: it, Translation: auguri
> Language: fr, Translation: bonjour,
> Language: it, Translation: buonasera
> Language: it, Translation: chiamatemi
Is it just me or these machine translations are worse than ... Google Translate?

Google Translate is state of the art, so I’m not sure why that would be surprising. That said, is there something wrong with the translations offered?

I think in French hello = "bonjour" and hi = "salut"... not sure where "bonjours" and "salutations" came from.

I’ve not much to say on the actual lib, it seems great! However, don’t feel compelled to put all your rust code into a single lib.rs. You can split your work into several files and use ‘pub use’ and ‘mod’ in lib.rs to re-export your functions & types into a public API of your choosing.
cargo check and format time might also slightly improve!
