OPUS-100-Fixed: Tokenisation-Improved English-Maltese Dataset

Overview

OPUS-100-Fixed is an updated version of the OPUS-100 parallel English-Maltese dataset. This version addresses tokenisation inconsistencies in the Maltese text using the MLRS tokeniser, aiming to improve machine translation quality. The "en" column is the same as in the original OPUS-100 data, while the "mt" column has been corrected with the MLRS detokeniser.
