# Sumerian and Akkadian Cuneiform Language Translator
|
| 6 |
+
|
| 7 |
+
This is a translation network that understands Sumerian and Akkadian languages written in cuneiform.
|
| 8 |
+
|
| 9 |
+
It was trained on cuneiform transcribed in the CDLI ATF format. For example:
|
| 10 |
+
|
| 11 |
+
```text
|
| 12 |
+
translate Akkadian to English: 1(disz){d}szul3-ma-nu-_sag man gal?_-u2 _man_ dan-nu _man kisz_
|
| 13 |
+
```
|
| 14 |
+
|
| 15 |
+
The network was trained to translate between the ancient languages:
|
| 16 |
+
|
| 17 |
+
* Akkadian
|
| 18 |
+
* Sumerian
|
| 19 |
+
|
| 20 |
+
and the modern languages:
|
| 21 |
+
|
| 22 |
+
* English
|
| 23 |
+
* French
|
| 24 |
+
* German
|
| 25 |
+
* Italian
|
| 26 |
+
* Spanish
|
| 27 |
+
|
| 28 |
+
The training data contains, primarily, English translations so those translations are best.
|
| 29 |
+
|
| 30 |
+
The network was trained on prompts such as:
|
| 31 |
+
|
| 32 |
+
* `translate Akkadian to English: `
|
| 33 |
+
* `translate German to Sumerian: `
|
| 34 |
+
* `translate Akkadian to Italian: `
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
|
| 37 |
+
## Limitations
|
| 38 |
+
|
| 39 |
+
It was *not* trained to translate between the ancient languages but it is capable of it
|
| 40 |
+
(`translate Sumerian to Akkadian: `). Buyer beware.
|
| 41 |
+
|
| 42 |
+
Its vocabulary does not include ā, ḫ, ī, ř, š, ṣ, or ū so those letters are replaced with the unadorned letter (or "sh" in the case of š and ṣ).
