+## 🌍 Enterprise Translation API
+
+A powerful, production-ready translation API supporting 200+ languages with automatic language detection.
+
+### 🚀 Key Features
+- **Automatic Language Detection**: Detects source language if not provided
+- **200+ Language Support**: Full FLORES-200 language code support
+- **Rate Limiting**: 60 requests/minute per IP address
+- **Usage Tracking**: Character count and request metrics
+- **High Performance**: CTranslate2 optimized inference
+- **Enterprise Monitoring**: Prometheus metrics and structured logging
+
+### 🔒 Rate Limits
+- **Per IP**: 60 requests per minute
+- **Character Limit**: 5000 characters per request
+- **Concurrent Requests**: Async processing for optimal performance
+
+### 📊 Monitoring
+- **Health Checks**: `/health` endpoint for system monitoring
+- **Metrics**: `/metrics` endpoint for Prometheus integration
+- **Request Tracking**: Unique request IDs for debugging
+
+### 🌐 Language Support
+Supports all FLORES-200 language codes including:
+- **African Languages**: Swahili (swh_Latn), Kikuyu (kik_Latn), Luo (luo_Latn)
+- **European Languages**: English (eng_Latn), French (fra_Latn), Spanish (spa_Latn)
+- **And 190+ more languages**
+
+### 📝 Usage Examples
+```bash
+# Basic translation with auto-detection
+curl -X POST "/translate" \\
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
+  -d '{"text": "Habari ya asubuhi", "target_language": "eng_Latn"}'

+- **Service Layer**: Business logic and model operations
+- **Core Layer**: Configuration, logging, and metrics
+- **Models Layer**: Data validation and serialization
+
+### 2. Dependency Injection
+- Settings injected via Pydantic Settings
+- Services accessed through proper imports
+- Middleware applied declaratively
+
+### 3. Configuration Management
+- Environment-based configuration
+- Type-safe settings with Pydantic
+- Centralized configuration in `core/config.py`
+
+### 4. Observability
+- Structured JSON logging with structlog
+- Prometheus metrics for monitoring
+- Request tracking with unique IDs
+- Health check endpoints
+
+## 🚀 Key Features

+pip install -r requirements.txt
+uvicorn app.main:app --reload
+```
+
+### Docker Development
+```bash
+docker build -t sema-api .
+docker run -p 8000:8000 sema-api
+```
+
+### Testing
+- Health check: `GET /health`
+- Documentation: `GET /docs`
+- Metrics: `GET /metrics`
+- Translation: `POST /translate`
+
+## 🎯 Future Enhancements
+
+### Authentication Integration
+- Supabase JWT validation

+
+### Scaling Considerations
+- Database integration for usage tracking
+- Redis caching for performance
+- Load balancer compatibility
+- Horizontal scaling support
+
+### Monitoring Enhancements
+- Grafana dashboards
+- Alerting rules
+- Performance profiling
+- Usage analytics
+
+## 📝 Maintenance
+
+### Code Organization Benefits
+- **Testability**: Each component can be tested independently
+- **Maintainability**: Clear separation of concerns
+- **Scalability**: Easy to add new features and endpoints
+- **Debugging**: Structured logging and request tracking
+- **Documentation**: Self-documenting code structure
+
+### Adding New Features
+1. **New Endpoints**: Add to `api/v1/endpoints.py`
+2. **Business Logic**: Add to appropriate service in `services/`
+3. **Data Models**: Add to `models/schemas.py`
+4. **Configuration**: Add to `core/config.py`
+5. **Middleware**: Add to `middleware/`
+
+This architecture provides a solid foundation for a production-ready translation API that can scale and evolve with your needs.

+# Sema Translation API - Tests
+
+This directory contains test scripts for the Sema Translation API.
+
+## Test Files
+
+### `test_model_download.py`
+Tests the model downloading and loading functionality:
+- Downloads models from `sematech/sema-utils` repository
+- Tests model loading (SentencePiece, FastText, CTranslate2)
+- Validates complete translation pipeline
+- Includes cleanup functionality
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+cd tests
+python test_model_download.py
+```
+
+### `test_api_client.py`
+Tests the API endpoints and functionality:
+- Health check endpoints
+- Translation with auto-detection
+- Translation with specified source language
+- Error handling validation
+- Performance testing with multiple requests
+- Documentation endpoint testing
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# Test local development server
+cd tests
+python test_api_client.py
+
+# Test production server
+python test_api_client.py https://sematech-sema-api.hf.space
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Prerequisites
+```bash

+```
+
+### Local Testing
+1. Start the API server:
+   ```bash
+   cd backend/sema-api
+   uvicorn app.main:app --reload
+   ```
+
+2. Run API tests:

+🚀 Starting Sema Utils Model Test
+
+🧪 Testing model download from sematech/sema-utils...
+✅ SentencePiece model downloaded
+✅ Language detection model downloaded  
+✅ Translation model downloaded
+✅ All models loaded successfully
+🎉 Translation successful!
+```
+
+### API Client Test
+```
+🧪 Testing Sema Translation API
+
+✅ Health check passed
+✅ Auto-detection translation successful
+✅ Specified source translation successful
+✅ Empty text error handling works correctly
+✅ Performance test completed
+✅ OpenAPI docs accessible
+🎉 All API tests passed!
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Model Download Fails:**
+- Check internet connection
+- Verify HuggingFace Hub access
+- Ensure sufficient disk space
+
+**API Tests Fail:**
+- Verify API server is running
+- Check correct URL/port
+- Ensure all dependencies installed
+
+**Permission Errors:**
+- Check file permissions in test directory
+- Ensure write access for model downloads
+
+### Debug Mode
+Add debug prints to test scripts for detailed troubleshooting:
+```python
+import logging
+logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
+```
