# 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?`
