Neural machine translation (NMT) for low-resource local languages in Indonesia faces significant challenges, including the need for a representative benchmark and limited data availability. This work addresses these challenges by comprehensively analyzing training NMT systems for four low-resource local languages in Indonesia: Javanese, Sundanese, Minangkabau, and Balinese. Our study encompasses various training approaches, paradigms, data sizes, and a preliminary study into using large language models for synthetic low-resource languages parallel data generation. We reveal specific trends and insights into practical strategies for low-resource language translation. Our research demonstrates that despite limited computational resources and textual data, several of our NMT systems achieve competitive performances, rivaling the translation quality of zero-shot gpt-3.5-turbo. These findings significantly advance NMT for low-resource languages, offering valuable guidance for researchers in similar contexts.

通过对印尼四种资源匮乏的本土语言：爪哇语、巽他语、民丹·卡巴乌语和巴厘语的神经机器翻译系统进行全面分析，本研究揭示了适用于资源匮乏语言翻译的实用策略，展示了实现竞争性翻译品质的神经机器翻译系统，对类似背景的研究者提供了有价值的指导。
