The data set originates from the SAP Help Portal that contains documentation for SAP products and user 
assistance for product-related questions. The data has been processed in a way that makes it suitable as development and 
test data for machine translation purposes. The current language scope is English to Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, 
Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. For each language pair about 4k segments are available, 
split into development and test data. The segments are provided in their document context and are annotated with additional 
metadata from the document.

## Languages

## Dataset Usage
### Using `datasets` library
```
    from datasets import load_dataset
    dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/sap_wat", trust_remote_code=True)
```
### Using `seacrowd` library
```import seacrowd as sc
# Load the dataset using the default config
    dset = sc.load_dataset("sap_wat", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
    print(sc.available_config_names("sap_wat"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
    dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")
```

    evaluation data set of data originating from the SAP Help Portal, that we released to the machine translation 
    community for research purposes. It offers the possibility to tune and evaluate machine translation systems 
    in the domain of corporate software documentation and contributes to the availability of a wider range of 
    evaluation scenarios. The data set comprises of the language pairs English to Hindi, Indonesian, Malay and 
    Thai, and thus also increases the test coverage for the many low-resource language pairs. Unlike most evaluation 
    data sets that consist of plain parallel text, the segments in this data set come with additional metadata that 
    describes structural information of the document context. We provide insights into the origin and creation, the 
    particularities and characteristics of the data set as well as machine translation results.",
