| ## Data | |

| ## Model | |
| - Default Masakhane Transformer translation model. | |
| - [Link to google drive folder with models](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bVPKPkaivIT9k23ydbSlVj3Qwd3GJZf0) | |
| ## Analysis | |
| The dataset requires more preprocessing to remove special characters and Scripture chapters/verse names & figures. | |
| One very nice aspect of the Igbo translations are the proper tonal and orthographic diacritic forms predicted by | |
| the model. This is not a feature that is available with Google Translate! | |
| Example 1 | |
| ```sh | |
| Source: It’s not about the alcohol . | |
| Reference: Nsogbu ya abụghị na ịṅụ mmanya na - aba n’anya na - agụ ya . | |
| Hypothesis: Ọ bụghị banyere mmanya na - aba n’anya . | |
| ``` | |
| Example 2 | |
| ```sh | |
| Source: Is this also the case with your neighborhood ? | |
| Reference: Ọ̀ bụ otú a ka ọ dịkwa n’agbata obi gị ? | |
| Hypothesis: Nke a ọ̀ bụkwa ihe banyere ndị agbata obi gị ? | |
