# Formosan ↔ English / Chinese Machine Translation

This Space is a research demo for FormosanBank directional NLLB-200 models:

- [`FormosanBank/nllb200-formosan-en-spm8k`](https://huggingface.co/FormosanBank/nllb200-formosan-en-spm8k)
- [`FormosanBank/nllb200-en-formosan-spm8k`](https://huggingface.co/FormosanBank/nllb200-en-formosan-spm8k)
- [`FormosanBank/nllb200-formosan-zh-spm8k`](https://huggingface.co/FormosanBank/nllb200-formosan-zh-spm8k)
- [`FormosanBank/nllb200-zh-formosan-spm8k`](https://huggingface.co/FormosanBank/nllb200-zh-formosan-spm8k)

The interface hides the metadata control tags used during training. Users only choose direction, language, and optionally source/domain and dialect metadata.

Supported Formosan languages: Amis, Bunun, Kavalan, Rukai, Paiwan, Puyuma, Thao, Saaroa, Sakizaya, Tao/Yami, Atayal, Seediq, Tsou, Kanakanavu, and Saisiyat.

Outputs are drafts for research and exploration. Use fluent-speaker review for any community-facing or high-stakes context.
