I've pushed support for #Yiddish and #Ladino to my translation server. That means #Babka will now have support for translating from and to those two languages
Just to temper expectations, these models have a BLEU score of 18-25 while typical models score at 40-50 BLEU
As always reach out to me if you see translations that seem off or if you'd like to see other languages supported!
I haven't begun doing backtranslation and other ways to take advantage of monolingual corpora. But once I do, expect the quality to improve not just for Yiddish and Ladino, but also Hebrew and a few of the other languages.
@raf Are there good corpora for Hebrew-English translation in general? Hebrew machine-translates poorly, to the point that Google Translate sometimes reverses the meanings of sentences (and Israelis on Twitter have a few stock phrases they ask people to translate if they worry about as-a-Jew pretenders).
