# 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). |
