AI Tool Translates Five Romansh Dialects

SRF 1 Switzerland Chur 14d Impact 3
A new translation tool has been released that is capable of translating all five Romansh dialects, including Sursilvan and Vallader. Previously, translation capabilities were limited to the more widely understood Rumantsch Grischun. The Bündner Sprachverein expressed importance for the tool regarding the preservation of local village languages. The breakthrough was noted by the organization Lia Rumantscha. The project required gathering diverse data sources because most existing texts were not in the specific dialects.

“For the first time, a translation program can translate all five Romansh dialects. For example, Sursilvan or Vallader. Until now, it was only possible for the generally understandable Rumantsch Grischun.”
