| # English2Dialect |
|
|
| This model generates translations from English to colloquial Arabic, conditioning the translations on dialect. Supported dialects are: Palestinian/Jordanian, Syrian, Lebanese and Egyptian. |
| Dialect is specified via the first input token which should be either P/S/L/E. |
|
|
| For example, to translate to Palestinian/Jordanian, use the input: |
|
|
| `P What time is it now?` |
|
|
| And for Syrian: |
|
|
| `S What time is it now?` |
|
