Hunayn: Elevating Translation Beyond the Literal

This project introduces an advanced English-to-Arabic translator surpassing conventional tools. Leveraging the Helsinki transformer (MarianMT), our approach involves fine-tuning on a self-scraped, purely literary Arabic dataset. Evaluations against Google Translate show consistent outperformance in qualitative assessments. Notably, it excels in cultural sensitivity and context accuracy. This research underscores the Helsinki transformer’s superiority for English-to-Arabic translation using a Fusha dataset.
