This paper details the process of collecting and curating English{--}Kyrgyz translations, highlighting the main challenges encountered in translating into a morphologically rich, low-resource language. We demonstrate the quality of the dataset through fine-tuning experiments, showing consistent improvements in machine translation performance across multiple models. Comparisons with bilingual and MNMT Kyrgyz-English baselines reveal that, for some models, our dataset enables performance surpassing pretrained baselines in both English{--}Kyrgyz and Kyrgyz{--}English translation directions. These results validate the dataset{'}s utility and suggest that it can serve as a valuable resource for the Kyrgyz MT community and other related low-resource languages."
