# Dataset Card for Bokmål-Nynorsk Translation

## Dataset Summary

This dataset is intended for language translation for Bokmål to Nynorsk and vice versa. It contains 800,000 sentence pairs, sourced from Språkbanken and pruned to avoid overlap with the NorBench dataset. The data comes from translations of news text from Norsk telegrambyrå (NTB), performed by Nynorsk pressekontor (NPK). In addition the dev and test set has 1000 entries.

## Data Collection

- **Period**: February 2011 to December 2022
- **Source**: [Omsetjingsminne Nynorsk Pressekontor - Språkbanken](https://www.nb.no/sprakbanken/ressurskatalog/oai-nb-no-sbr-80/)
- **Size**: 800,000 sentence pairs
- **Format**: JSON-lines (with `nob` , `nno` fields)

### Processing Steps

1. Pruned to avoid overlap with NorBench
2. Deduplicated
