WMT24++ Reference Translations for Romansh
Description
WMT24++ benchmark in Romansh (six varieties: Rumantsch Grischun, Sursilvan, Sutsilvan, Surmiran, Puter, and Vallader).
Original WMT24++ benchmark (55 languages): https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/wmt24pp
The reference translation have been created by human translators based on the German version of WMT24++.

Data Creation Workflow
The data acquisition process was structured into three steps to ensure high quality, consistency, and adherence to idiom-specific conventions.
- Translation: We hired language professionals who are native speakers of both German and the respective Romansh idiom.
- Review: Two expert linguists of Lia Rumantscha reviewed a sample of translations for a representative selection of varieties, and formulated feedback that was communicated to all translators.
- Revision: The translators incorporated the feedback into the reference translations.
We provided the translators with a guidelines document, inspired by the WMT24 translator brief.
The key points of the guidelines, which we provide in Appendix E of the paper, are:
- The German text is the main source for the translation into Romansh, while the English text can be used as an additional reference in case of ambiguity.
- No AI tools should be used for the translation.
The translators and reviewers had access to the complete context of each segment, including a link to the original website from which the segment was extracted (e.g., for segments from the Speech domain, the original YouTube video).
