I'm trying to translate using a trained model using translate.py. The problem is that translate.py writes only one translation in the output file while I set k=5.
After checking the source code, it seems that _translate function only returns the best translation among different available translations.

Hi, the translate.py script returns the best translated results using the beam search. So if you want all the other results along with the best one, you can copy/modify the script and make your own version.

Ahaa, k is the Beam Size not the number of possible outputs!
Thanks for your quick answer.
