This dataset is a parallel corpus of Ewondo and French texts. The text was obtained by transcribing raw audio files recorded in Yaoundé in the 1980s. Transcriptions and French translations were produced between 2016 and 2017 by Hubert Fernand Nkoumou, the legal owner of this dataset. For the purpose of creating this dataset, Ewondo and French text alignment was performed and quality-checked. The corpus is suitable for machine translation and other natural language processing tasks on the Ewondo language.
