We present the first neural machine translation system for translation
between the endangered Erzya language and Russian and the dataset collected by
us to train and evaluate it. The BLEU scores are 17 and 19 for translation to
Erzya and Russian respectively, and more than half of the translations are
rated as acceptable by native speakers. We also adapt our model to translate
between Erzya and 10 other languages, but without additional parallel data, the
quality on these directions remains low. We release the translation models
along with the collected text corpus, a new language identification model, and
a multilingual sentence encoder adapted for the Erzya language. These resources
will be available at this https URL.

本文介绍了第一个神经机器翻译系统，用于翻译濒危的艾尔济亚语和俄语之间的文本，BLEU 得分分别为 17 和 19，适用于艾尔济亚语和俄语之间的翻译。我们还用适应我们的模型翻译艾尔济亚语和 10 种其他语言，但在这些方向上没有额外的并行数据，质量仍然很低。我们发布了翻译模型以及收集的文本语料库、新的语言识别模型和适用于艾尔济亚语的多语句编码器。
