- # KenTrans: Kenyan Languages to Swahili Translation Dataset
26
-
27
- ## Dataset Structure
28
- **KenTrans** is a parallel corpus between **Swahili** and three Kenyan languages (with multiple Luhya dialects). The project produced **12,400** sentence pairs translated **into Swahili**:
29
-
30
- - **Dholuo → Swahili:** 1,500 pairs
31
- - **Luhya → Swahili (total):** 10,900 pairs across three dialects
32
- - **Lumarachi (lch)**
33
- - **Lulogooli (llg)**
34
- - **Lubukusu (lbk)**
35
-
36
- Each document contains sentence pairs formatted with a leading label:
37
- - The **original** (source) sentence line starts with `O:`
38
- - The **translation** (Swahili) sentence line starts with `T:`
39
-
40
- > Example
41
- > ```
42
- > O: OSIEPE MA KENDE
43
- > T: MARAFIKI WA DHATI
44
- > ```

62
- - Each file contains **multiple** `O:` / `T:` sentence pairs
63
- - Sentence pairs are separated by newlines

67
- ## Data Fields (Programmatic View)
68
-
69
- When parsed into records, each example can be represented with:
70
-
71
- - `id`: Unique identifier (e.g., `dho_0773_dho_tr.txt_0`)
72
- - `source`: Source language sentence
73
- - `target`: Target Swahili sentence
74
- - `src_lang`: One of `dho`, `lbk`, `lch`, `llg`
75
- - `tgt_lang`: Always `swa`
76
- - `pair`: Language pair as `"{src}-{tgt}"` (e.g., `dho-swa`)
77
- - `filename`: Source filename (e.g., `0773_dho_tr.txt`)
