Consider this an early beta version. I used sentence pairs from https://tatoeba.org/ to finetune an NLLB model for Gronings.

I am a linguist and speaker of Gronings so I carried out evaluation by expert's eyeball.
I haven't thoroughly investigated the performance by means of BLEU scores or anything for this version.
Nonetheless, I found the performance to be not terrible and thus decided to publish.
The model is very likely not optimal in terms of hyperparameters, so I am planning to upload an even better version in the future.
See https://github.com/tom9358/nllb-tryout for everything (code, more documentation and references) except the model itself

A (rather slow, but at least free and accessible to everyone) way to try out the model:
