• Abstract: This paper introduces PEACH, a sentence-aligned parallel English-Arabic corpus of healthcare texts encompassing patient information leaflets and educational materials. The corpus contains 51,671 parallel sentences, totaling approximately 590,517 English and 567,707 Arabic word tokens. Sentence lengths vary between 9.52 and 11.83 words on average. As a manually aligned corpus, PEACH is a gold-standard corpus, aiding researchers in contrastive linguistics, translation studies, and natural language processing. It can be used to derive bilingual lexicons, adapt large language models for domain-specific machine translation, evaluate user perceptions of machine translation in healthcare, assess patient information leaflets and educational materials' readability and lay-friendliness, and as an educational resource in translation studies. PEACH is publicly accessible.

  We propose a framework for parallel corpus mining, which provides a quick and effective way to mine a parallel corpus from publicly available lectures on Coursera. For both English--Japanese and English--Chinese lecture translations, we extracted parallel corpora of approximately 50,000 lines and created development and test sets. This study also suggests guidelines for gathering and cleaning corpora, mining parallel sentences, cleaning noise in the mined data, and creating high-quality evaluation splits.

  This paper presents the first relatively large-scale Amharic-English parallel sentence dataset. We build bi-directional Amharic-English translation models by fine-tuning the existing Facebook M2M100 pre-trained model. The results show that the normalization of Amharic homophone characters increases the performance of Amharic-English machine translation in both directions.

We compute a task-based measure of cross-lingual alignment in the form of bitext retrieval performance. We examine a range of linguistic, quasi-linguistic, and training-related features as potential predictors of these alignment metrics.
