  <p><b>Warning:</b> There are issues with the Common Crawl corpus data (<a href="https://www.statmt.org/wmt13/training-parallel-commoncrawl.tgz">training-parallel-commoncrawl.tgz</a>):</p>
  <ul>
    <li>Non-English files contain many English sentences.</li>
    <li>Their "parallel" sentences in English are not aligned: they are uncorrelated with their counterpart.</li>

Translation dataset based on the data from statmt.org.

Versions exist for different years using a combination of data
sources. The base `wmt` allows you to create a custom dataset by choosing
your own data/language pair. This can be done as follows:

```python
from datasets import inspect_dataset, load_dataset_builder

inspect_dataset("wmt17", "path/to/scripts")
builder = load_dataset_builder(
    "path/to/scripts/wmt_utils.py",
    language_pair=("fr", "de"),
    subsets={
        datasets.Split.TRAIN: ["commoncrawl_frde"],
        datasets.Split.VALIDATION: ["euelections_dev2019"],
    },
)

# Standard version
builder.download_and_prepare()
ds = builder.as_dataset()

# Streamable version
ds = builder.as_streaming_dataset()
```
