Indic-Translate

About Model

Indic Translate translates between English and all 22 languages of the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, in both directions. It is a single-purpose translation model: it takes one instruction and one piece of source text, and returns the translation. Nothing else. Unlike sentence-level MT systems, Indic Translate is designed to take a whole document in one request — up to 32,768 tokens — and return a translation that preserves the document's paragraph structure, headings, lists, and inline markup. This release adds three new capabilities: translating directly to and from Romanized script (writing an Indic language with Latin letters, the way people commonly type without an Indic keyboard), transliteration — converting between native and Romanized script without changing the language — and code-mixed translation, to and from text that mixes English and an Indic language within a sentence.
