SMOL

SMOL (Set for Maximal Overall Leverage) is a collection professional translations into 115 Low-Resource Languages, for the purpose of training translation models, and otherwise increasing the representations of said languages in NLP and technology.

Please read our paper for a much more thorough description!

Resources in this repository

There are three resources in this directory:

SmolSent: A collection of sentence-level translations into 81 languages
SmolDoc: A collection of document-level translations into 100 languages
SmolDoc-factuality-annotations: A collection of sentence-level translations into 81 languages

Per-language information

The following table only includes information for the source_lang_translated_lang direction. However, data in this repo is released in both directions, so e.g. this table lists only en_ay, but reversed ay_en data is also released.

Notes on language codes

We use the backwards-compatible BCP-47 language code convention. Several of these languages have various alternate code also in use, including:

ak Twi also uses the code tw. Note that using the supercode for the most prevelent language variety is very common, e.g. ku for kmr, zh for cmn, etc.
ber The grouping of the Tamazight languages is a matter of debate. The variety in these data is probably close to tzm, though a language expert should opine
qu Another supercode issue. The Quechua variety this data is closest to is likely quy, though a language expert should opine
pa-Arab is also referred to as lah

Known issues

There are several known issues of this dataset:

The translations of SmolDoc to Ho (Warang Citi script) (hoc) contain some instances of transliterated English, rather than actual Ho text. This is currently being corrected.
The translations to Mooré (mos) contain a mix of orthographies.
The translations into Kituba (ktu), Tulu (tcy), Nepali (ne), and Tibetan (bo) caused notable regressions in ChrF, suggesting that they are low-quality, though this could also be an issue with training or evaluation.

If you speak any of these languages and notice quality issues, please reach out. Another especially useful piece of information is whether the correct orthographies are used in these deliveries.
