NorBelebele

This dataset is based on the official facebook/belebele but with corrected text passages that substantially reduce the number of Norwegian language errors. The numerous problems of Bokmål translations in FLORES have been described and corrected by Petter Mæhlum et al. in Improved Norwegian Bokmål Translations for FLORES. The corrected passages themselves are taken from the openlanguagedata/flores_plus project.
