Why participate?

✨Low-resource is truly the frontier, and there are many ways to making an impact for a language community:
from providing a dataset for a language that is missing one, to exploring the limits of different models and techniques.

🆕 This year includes new and more diverse language pairs (e.g. Fongbe to French, Estonian to English) in addition to continuing pairs

🆕🔊 Also new this year is a *data track* which encourages the creation of new speech translation datasets for less-supported languages
