The data contains 18,373 Myanmar sentences of the ASEAN-MT Parallel Corpus,
which is a parallel corpus in the travel domain. It contains six main
categories: people (greeting, introduction, and communication), survival
(transportation, accommodation, and finance), food (food, beverages, and
restaurants), fun (recreation, traveling, shopping, and nightlife), resource
(number, time, and accuracy), special needs (emergency and health). Manual
translation into the Rakhine language was done by native Rakhine students from
two Myanmar universities, and the translated corpus was checked by the editor
of a Rakhine newspaper. Word segmentation for Rakhine was done manually, and
there are exactly 123,018 words in total.

## Dataset Usage
### Using `datasets` library
```
from datasets import load_dataset
dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/myanmar_rakhine_parallel", trust_remote_code=True)
```
### Using `seacrowd` library
```import seacrowd as sc
# Load the dataset using the default config
dset = sc.load_dataset("myanmar_rakhine_parallel", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
print(sc.available_config_names("myanmar_rakhine_parallel"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")
```
