Description

Hi there,

I am excited about this project. I have already used MBART50 from facebook to translate text from and to english and other languages and it was pretty solid translation.

We can augment the database greatly by capitalizing on the multiple languages if we make a cross languages translations to pump up the database. So if anyone adds a text in a language, be it in english or another one, we can translate it to all other languages while keeping the annotations.

We can automate this by adding a translation module.

People can continue to annotate translated prompts and answers which will help eliminating bad translations for example.

Research direction

The proposal names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how the project stores prompts, answers, and annotations, then assess the mentioned MBART50 approach; done means translations can cover the target languages while preserving annotations and allowing later correction.
