COILD Multilingual Translation

About Model

The COILD Multilingual Translation Model (COILD-Mul-MT) is a multilingual translation model developed by the Centre of Indian Language Data (COILD), IIT Patna, to support translation across a wide range of Indian languages. It enables direct translation between supported Indian languages without requiring English as an intermediate language. The model supports *21 Indian languages and 40 translation directions*, including languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Maithili, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Bodo, Dogri, Konkani, Kashmiri, Manipuri, Nepali, Santali, and Sindhi. It is designed particularly for multilingual Indian-language content covering areas such as *agriculture, climate, education, governance, healthcare, judiciary, science and technology, and tourism*. The model aims to make translation between Indian languages more accessible and to support research and applications involving multilingual and low-resource Indian languages.
