### Dataset Summary

A Persian translation dataset (English -> Persian).

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[More Information Needed]

### Languages

The text dataset is in Persian (`fa`) and English (`en`).

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

Here is an example from the dataset: 
```json
{
    "source": "how toil to raise funds, propagate reforms, initiate institutions!",
