# Sumerian and Akkadian Cuneiform Language Translator

This is a translation network that understands Sumerian and Akkadian languages written in cuneiform.

It was trained on cuneiform transcribed in the CDLI ATF format. For example:

```text
translate Akkadian to English: 1(disz){d}szul3-ma-nu-_sag man gal?_-u2 _man_ dan-nu _man kisz_
```

The network was trained to translate between the ancient languages:

* Akkadian
* Sumerian

and the modern languages:

* English
* French
* German
* Italian
* Spanish

The training data contains, primarily, English translations so those translations are best.

The network was trained on prompts such as:

* `translate Akkadian to English: `
* `translate German to Sumerian: `
* `translate Akkadian to Italian: `


## Limitations

It was *not* trained to translate between the ancient languages but it is capable of it
(`translate Sumerian to Akkadian: `). Buyer beware.

Its vocabulary does not include ā, ḫ, ī, ř, š, ṣ, or ū so those letters are replaced with the unadorned letter (or "sh" in the case of š and ṣ).
