Chunk Type
--------------------------

Configure Sentence Boundary Detection (SBD) model

The seq2seq neural networks that Argos Translate uses for translation can only handle
~150 tokens of input at at time. Argos Translate uses a separate SBD model to split
text into sentences before translation. By default, Argos Translate uses the
Stanza SBD model when available. Spacy is used as a fallback when Stanza is not available
and is typically faster than Stanza. However, Spacy doesn't support as many languages
as Stanza.

.. code-block:: sh

  export ARGOS_CHUNK_TYPE="SPACY"
