### Dataset Summary

Translate dataset based on the data from statmt.org.

Versions exists for the different years using a combination of multiple data
sources. The base `wmt_translate` allows you to create your own config to choose
your own data/language pair by creating a custom `datasets.translate.wmt.WmtConfig`.

```
config = datasets.wmt.WmtConfig(
    version="0.0.1",
    language_pair=("fr", "de"),
    subsets={
        datasets.Split.TRAIN: ["commoncrawl_frde"],
        datasets.Split.VALIDATION: ["euelections_dev2019"],
    },
)
builder = datasets.builder("wmt_translate", config=config)
```
