API: nBestSize: unique? #5

Closed pebbe closed 10 years ago

pebbe commented 10 years ago

From the API:

nBestSize: integer -- maximum number of translation options

Should these be unique translations? You can specify the option nbest-distinct to mosesserver. If you don't, you may get ten times the same solutions, but with different scores (and perhaps different alignments?)

We actually do this already (worker/src/tasks/translate.py:60), but it wasn't mentioned explictly in the documentation. I have added it in b8c57ba .
