New dataset bridges translation gaps for 22 Indian languages

Researchers have developed BharatSetu 22-Indic 1M, a large dataset designed to facilitate translation between 22 languages listed in India's Eighth Schedule. The dataset contains nearly one million English sentences, each translated into all 22 languages, creating over 400 Indic-to-Indic translation pairs. This resource was generated using the sarvamai/sarvam-translate model and is intended as a machine-generated layer, with a proposed human-correction layer to improve accuracy. AI

IMPACT This dataset could significantly improve translation capabilities and accessibility for numerous Indian languages, fostering better communication and access to information.
