This English-Luganda parallel sentence corpus was created by a team of researchers from AI & Data science research Lab at Makerere University with a team of Luganda teachers, students and freelancers. The collaborative work which involves generating English sentences under CC-0 and translating these sentences using a crowdsourcing, iterative and opensource approach was done using Pontoon an opensource Translation Management System built by Mozilla. Acknowledgment: This project was supported by the AI4D language dataset fellowship through K4All and Zindi Africa.

Common Voice is Mozilla's initiative to help teach machines how real people speak. The dataset currently consists of 7,335 validated hours of speech in 60 languages, but we’re always adding more voices and languages.
