Multilingual tools

Most existing datasets are in English. However, most of the world’s population is under-served in terms of availability of data for their languages. How to ensure that everyone across the world is able to benefit from generative AI ? We have developed a straightforward and open-source translation tool based on Helsinki-NLP, capable of translating English datasets into 100+ languages at no cost. Although these translated datasets may contain some noise, they serve as a viable alternative to costly, high-quality data. See below.

Use of translator.py:

python  translator.py  model_name  source_data_path

Example:

python  translator.py  Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-zh  alpaca_data.json

Our tool is designed to work with alpaca data and the Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-zh model. Different datasets or Helsinki-NLP models yield varying results. Due to the limitations of the model, Constrained by the model's capabilities, the translation quality may not always be optimal. For example，we observed instances of repeated words in the translations from English to Chinese，which lead us to develop "process.py" to eliminate translated prompts containing strings of any length that appear three consecutive times. We provide the final version in "translated_alpaca_data.json".

Use of process.py:

python  process.py  unprocessed_data_path

Example:

python  process.py  translated_data.json

# the Helsinki-NLP model may have a maximum input sentence length limit. We have discarded the prompts which exceed the limit before translate them.
