English2Dialect
This model generates translations from English to colloquial Arabic, conditioning the translations on dialect. Supported dialects are: Palestinian/Jordanian, Syrian, Lebanese and Egyptian. Dialect is specified via the first input token which should be either P/S/L/E.
For example, to translate to Palestinian/Jordanian, use the input:
P What time is it now?
And for Syrian:
S What time is it now?
