# 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?` |
|
