[IWSLT @iwslt]

🆕 For this year, Arabic joins the challenge!

✨ For the first time, we ask participants to generate subtitles for Arabic, covering the 5th most spoken language and one of the six UN 🌐 official languages.
Let’s break language barriers! 🌍
#Subtitling #IWSLT2025

[IWSLT @iwslt]

Why participate?

✨ Contribute to advancing real-world systems for multilingual speech translation, particularly for underrepresented languages

✨ Collaborate to bridge linguistic divides & make this technology more accessible to millions of speakers worldwide

[IWSLT @iwslt]

Our final task highlight: Indic speech translation!

🎯 Goal: develop a speech-to-text translation model that bridges the gap for low-resource Indian languages, focusing on Hindi, Bengali, and Tamil from the Indo-Aryan and Dravidian families.

🔗: https://t.co/9U3TzAQJ14

[IWSLT @iwslt]

For the 2nd iteration...

🆕 Significantly more data for low-resource Indic languages + more language directions!

➡️ Both English to Indic and Indic to English translation directions, addressing the unique challenges posed by low-resource linguistic contexts.

[IWSLT @iwslt]

Why participate?

✨Low-resource is truly the frontier, and there are many ways to making an impact for a language community:
from providing a dataset for a language that is missing one, to exploring the limits of different models and techniques.

[IWSLT @iwslt]

Today's task: Low-resource ST!

🎯 Goal: Building speech translation models for currently underserved, mostly low-resource languages and varieties

🗓️ This is the 5th iteration, with new and continuing language pairs (10 total!)

🔗: https://t.co/TBe0LYj4In

[IWSLT @iwslt]

🆕 This year includes new and more diverse language pairs (e.g. Fongbe to French, Estonian to English) in addition to continuing pairs

🆕🔊 Also new this year is a *data track* which encourages the creation of new speech translation datasets for less-supported languages
