In this project, you’re going to take a peek into the realm of neural network machine translation. You’ll be training a sequence to sequence model on a dataset of English and French sentences that can translate new sentences from English to French.
Since translating the whole language of English to French will take lots of time to train, we have provided you with a small portion of the English corpus.

As you did with other RNNs, you must turn the text into a number so the computer can understand it. In the function text_to_ids(), you'll turn source_text and target_text from words to ids. However, you need to add the <EOS> word id at the end of target_text. This will help the neural network predict when the sentence should end.
You can get the <EOS> word id by doing:
target_vocab_to_int['<EOS>']
You can get other word ids using source_vocab_to_int and target_vocab_to_int.

You might notice that some sentences translate better than others. Since the dataset you're using only has a vocabulary of 227 English words of the thousands that you use, you're only going to see good results using these words. For this project, you don't need a perfect translation. However, if you want to create a better translation model, you'll need better data.
You can train on the WMT10 French-English corpus. This dataset has more vocabulary and richer in topics discussed. However, this will take you days to train, so make sure you've a GPU and the neural network is performing well on dataset we provided. Just make sure you play with the WMT10 corpus after you've submitted this project.
When submitting this project, make sure to run all the cells before saving the notebook. Save the notebook file as "dlnd_language_translation.ipynb" and save it as a HTML file under "File" -> "Download as". Include the "helper.py" and "problem_unittests.py" files in your submission.
