Dear organizers,

My team is preparing the data for the general translation task, and a couple of questions arised about language variants:
1. About Chinese, would it be simplied or traditional? 
2. About Arabic, which dialect will be used? Saudi Arabian or Egyptian Arabic?
3. About Serbian, will it use Cyrilic or Latin script?

Thank you in advance!

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

thank you for the question, we discussed the details and decided to go with following variants:
1) Simplified Chinese as in previous years
2) Egyptian Arabic
3) Latin Serbian for human evaluation, while Cyrillic Serbian will be in automatic evaluation (the new multilingual track)

Have a lovely day,
Kocmi
