• Abstract: ArzEn-MultiGenre is a parallel dataset of Egyptian Arabic song lyrics, novels, and TV show subtitles that are manually translated and aligned with their English counterparts. The dataset contains 25,557 segment pairs that can be used to benchmark new machine translation models, fine-tune large language models in few-shot settings, and adapt commercial machine translation applications such as Google Translate. Additionally, the dataset is a valuable resource for research in various disciplines, including translation studies, cross-linguistic analysis, and lexical semantics. The dataset can also serve pedagogical purposes by training translation students and aid professional translators as a translation memory. The contributions are twofold: first, the dataset features textual genres not found in existing parallel Egyptian Arabic and English datasets, and second, it is a gold-standard dataset that has been translated and aligned by human experts.

  Classical Arabic represents a significant era, encompassing the golden age of Arab culture, philosophy, and scientific literature. We have identified a scarcity of translation datasets in Classical Arabic, which are often limited in scope and topics. We present the ATHAR dataset, comprising 66,000 high-quality Classical Arabic to English translation samples.

  Existing machine translation (NMT) studies mainly focus on developing dataset-specific models. We propose a versatile'' model, i.e., the Unified Model Learning for NMT (UMLNMT) that works with data from different tasks. OurNMT results in substantial improvements over dataset-specific models with significantly reduced model deployment costs.

The results show that the normalization of Amharic homophone characters increases the performance of Amharic-English machine translation in both directions.
