Multilingual Data Collection for Machine Translation
Parallel programmes across several Indian languages at once, run to one specification so the resulting datasets are comparable rather than a set of incompatible deliveries. Applied to machine translation, the specification is driven by one thing: human adequacy and fluency scores.

- Use case
- Machine Translation
- Primary metric
- Human adequacy and fluency scores
Required data profile
- Sentence-aligned parallel corpora
- Register-matched to your product
- Enforced terminology glossary
Technical specification
| Parameter | Standard |
|---|---|
| Languages | Up to 14 Indian languages plus Indian English in one programme |
| Consistency | One spec, one manifest schema, one QA standard across all languages |
| Balance | Per-language quotas set independently to match your deployment mix |
| Reporting | Single consolidated progress view across languages |
Process
- Master specification written once and localised per language
- Per-language linguistic review of prompts and guides
- Parallel fielding across studio cities
- Central QA applying identical thresholds
- Consolidated delivery with per-language reports
Metrics this feeds
- Human adequacy and fluency scores
- Terminology compliance rate
- Back-translation divergence
Failure modes to design out
- Pivoting everything through English
- Post-edited machine output passed off as human translation
The hardest language sets the timeline. Low-resource languages such as Assamese and Odia should start first.
Deliverables
- Per-language datasets in one schema
- Cross-language coverage report
- Consolidated QA summary
Frequently asked
Is multilingual collection the right service for machine translation?
It covers sentence-aligned parallel corpora. Most machine translation programmes combine it with at least one other service; we will say so in the scope rather than selling one line item.
What languages are available?
All 14 languages in the network plus Indian English accent bands.
How is the evaluation set handled?
Collected first, from speakers disjoint from the training cohort, so improvement is measurable.
