### Dataset Summary

A Persian translation dataset (English -> Persian).

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[More Information Needed]

### Languages

The text dataset is in Persian (`fa`) and English (`en`).

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

Here is an example from the dataset: 
```json
{
    "source": "چه زحمت‌ها که بکشد تا منابع مالی را تامین کند اصطلاحات را ترویج کند نهادهایی به راه اندازد.", 
    "targets": ["how toil to raise funds, propagate reforms, initiate institutions!"],  
    "category": "mizan_dev_en_fa"
}
```

### Data Fields

- `source`: the input sentences, in Persian. 
- `targets`: the list of gold target translations in English.   
- `category`: the source from which the example is mined.  

### Data Splits

The train/dev/test split contains 1,622,281/2,138/47,745 samples.
