As machine translation becomes available in more languages with #MinT and NLLB-200 models, we want to expand support to a new set of languages. These languages have already machine translation support, but the feedback and/or data suggests that they could benefit from an additional option.
This ticket proposes to enable MinT using NLLB-200 as an option for the following languages:
# Afrikaans (af/afr_Latn)
- Armenian (hy/hye_Armn)
- Bengali (bn/ben_Beng)
- Estonian (et/est_Latn)
- Finnish (fi/fin_Latn)
- Haitian Creole (ht/hat_Latn)
- Hindi (hi/hin_Deva)
- Indonesian (id/ind_Latn)
- Irish (ga/gle_Latn)
- Javanese (jv/jav_Latn)
- Lithuanian (lt/lit_Latn)
- Norwegian (no/nob_Latn) !!We want to pay especial attention to verify there is no issue with alternative codes for Norwegian such as "nb", or with different variants like Norwegian Nynorsk (nn)!!
- Swahili (sw/swh_Latn)
- Thai (th/tha_Thai)
- Uyghur (ug/uig_Arab)
Steps:
* [ ] Enable MinT for the selected languages.
* [ ] Communicate with the communities
