### Dataset Structure

#### Dataset Fields

- lang_code: 2-digit ISO language code
- source: The source from which the candidate sentence is considered.
- english_sentence: The full sentence in the English language.
- indic_sentence: The full sentence in the corresponding Indic language.
- score: The similarity score as a float which is <= 5.0 and >= 0.0.

#### Data Instances

```json
{
   "lang_code":"hi",
   "source":"CatchNews",
   "english_sentence":"\"...this is only an interim measure and as long as we have hopefully control over COVID in a few months or a year\\'s time then I think things will go back to as normal as it can be,\" Kumble said\n",
   "indic_sentence":"उन्होंने कहा,\"यह केवल एक अंतरिम उपाय है और जब तक हम कुछ महीनों या एक साल के समय में COVID-19 पर नियंत्रण करते हैं, तब तक मुझे लगता है कि चीजें फिर से सामान्य हो जाएंगी\n",
   "score":4.0
}
```
