This dataset, titled "en-ku-12k", is a bilingual corpus consisting of approximately 12,900 sentence pairs. The sentences are sourced from a variety of contexts and domains, each carefully translated from English to Kurdish by a human translator.

The purpose of this dataset is to provide a resource for machine translation systems, linguistic research, and other NLP tasks that involve the English and Kurdish languages. It can be particularly beneficial in the development and improvement of machine translation models, contributing to the diversity and inclusiveness of NLP tools and resources by catering to the Kurdish language, which is often underrepresented in existing datasets.

The dataset is organized in a parallel structure, where each row represents a sentence pair, with one column for English sentences and another for the corresponding Kurdish translations. This format allows for straightforward use in machine learning applications and comparative linguistic studies.

Please note that while every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the translations, there may be instances of subjectivity based on the context of the sentences. Researchers and developers using this dataset should take this into consideration when designing their studies or models.

We hope this dataset contributes to the development of robust NLP models and encourages further research into the linguistic properties of the Kurdish language.
