### Dataset Summary
This is a corpus of parallel sentences extracted from Wikipedia by Krzysztof Wołk and Krzysztof Marasek.
Tha dataset contains 20 languages and 36 bitexts.
To load a language pair which isn't part of the config, all you need to do is specify the language code as pairs,
e.g.
```python
dataset = load_dataset("opus_wikipedia", lang1="it", lang2="pl")
```
You can find the valid pairs in Homepage section of Dataset Description: http://opus.nlpl.eu/Wikipedia.php

## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
```
{
'id': '0',
'translation': {
"ar": "* Encyclopaedia of Mathematics online encyclopaedia from Springer, Graduate-level reference work with over 8,000 entries, illuminating nearly 50,000 notions in mathematics.",
