This dataset is a subset of the Tatoeba corpus containing language pairs for Indonesian, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Javanese, and Thai.
The original dataset description can be found below:

This data is extracted from the Tatoeba corpus, dated Saturday 2018/11/17.
For each languages, we have selected 1000 English sentences and their translations, if available. Please check
this paper for a description of the languages, their families and scripts as well as baseline results.
Please note that the English sentences are not identical for all language pairs. This means that the results are
not directly comparable across languages. In particular, the sentences tend to have less variety for several
low-resource languages, e.g. "Tom needed water", "Tom needs water", "Tom is getting water", ...
