    Saves input declarative Layer as :ref:`api_imperative_TranslatedLayer` 
    format model, which can be used for inference or fine-tuning after loading.

    It will save the translated program and all related persistable 
    variables of input declarative Layer to given ``model_path``.
    
    The default saved translated program file name is ``__model__``,
    and the default saved persistable variables file name is ``__variables__``,
    and it also saved some additional variable description information to file 
    ``__variables.info__``, these additional information is used in fine-tuning.

    The saved model can be loaded by follow APIs:
      - :ref:`api_imperative_jit_load`
      - :ref:`api_fluid_io_load_inference_model` (need pass ``params_filename='__variables__'``)
      - Other C++ inference APIs

    Args:
        layer (Layer): the Layer to be saved. The Layer should be decorated by `@declarative`.
        model_path (str): the directory to save the model.
        input_spec (list[Variable], optional): Describes the input of the saved model. 
            It is the example inputs that will be passed to saved TranslatedLayer's forward
            function. If None, all input variables of the original Layer's forward function
            would be the inputs of the saved model. Default None.

    :api_attr: imperative

    Load model saved by :ref:`api_imperative_jit_save` or :ref:`api_fluid_io_save_inference_model`
    as :ref:`api_imperative_TranslatedLayer`, then performing inference or fine-tune training.

    .. note::
        For some historical reasons, if you load model saved by :ref:`api_fluid_io_save_inference_model`,
        there will be the following limitations when using it in fine-tuning:
        1. Imperative mode do not support LoDTensor. All original model's feed targets or parametars that depend on LoD are temporarily unavailable.
        2. All saved model's feed targets need to be passed into TranslatedLayer's forward function.
        3. The variable's ``stop_gradient`` information is lost and can not be recovered.
        4. The parameter's ``trainable`` information is lost and can not be recovered.

    Args:
        model_path (str): The directory path where the model is saved.
        config (SaveLoadConfig, optional): :ref:`api_imperative_jit_saveLoadConfig` object that specifies 
            additional configuration options. Default None.

    Returns:
        TranslatedLayer: A Layer object can run saved translated model.

    Examples:
        1. Load model saved by :ref:`api_imperative_jit_save` then performing inference and fine-tune training.
