ZenaMT Corpus

ZenaMT is an Italian-Ligurian (Genoese) parallel corpus covering multiple domains of cultural relevance to Ligurian speakers. A subset of the corpus also contains aligned English translations.

Current release: v2026.10.11.

The dataset is available in four configurations:

  • sentence-ita-lij: Italian-Ligurian sentence-level parallel corpus (default).
  • sentence-eng-lij: English-Ligurian sentence-level parallel corpus. The set of Ligurian sentences in this configuration is currently a strict subset of those in sentence-ita-lij, since not all sources include English translations.
  • document-ita-lij: Italian-Ligurian document-level parallel corpus. It covers the same sources as sentence-ita-lij, but preserves document structure instead of sentence splitting. Some sources are natively sentence-level (for example, dictionary example sentences); those rows are kept as individual sentences, and their level value is sentence.
  • document-eng-lij: English-Ligurian document-level parallel corpus. As with sentence-eng-lij, the set of Ligurian documents is currently a strict subset of those in document-ita-lij.

Note:

  • English translations are currently available only for the train split (no validation or test rows in English configs).
  • This is a living corpus and will be updated as its source collections grow.

Dataset Structure

Each instance in the default configuration (sentence-ita-lij) has the following structure:

{
  "lij": "A sagoma de quella persoña contraluxe a no s’é mesciâ.",
  "ita": "La sagoma di quella persona controluce non si è mossa.",
  "split": "train",
  "source": "stories"
}

Compared to sentence-ita-lij, the other configurations differ as follows:

  • sentence-eng-lij: same structure, but ita is replaced by eng.
  • document-ita-lij: same language fields as sentence-ita-lij, plus level.
  • document-eng-lij: same language fields as sentence-eng-lij, plus level.

Field notes:

  • split and source are present in all configurations.
  • level is present only in document-* configurations:
    • document = full document
    • sentence = source-native sentence retained in document configs.
  • English configurations currently contain only train data.
