Why participate? 🔓Help make the world’s vast audiovisual heritage accessible to all! 🔍 Join the scientific effort to push forward multilingual subtitling and improve global communication! 🌎 #SpeechTranslation #AIforGood

🆕 For this year, Arabic joins the challenge! ✨ For the first time, we ask participants to generate subtitles for Arabic, covering the 5th most spoken language and one of the six UN 🌐 official languages. Let’s break language barriers! 🌍 #Subtitling #IWSLT2025

Our last task: Subtitling!! 🎯 Goal: The Subtitling Track challenges participants to generate accurate Arabic & German subtitles for English audiovisual recordings, bridging language gaps in media! 🌍📺 #AI #SpeechTech #Subtitling #IWSLT2025 🔗: iwslt.org/2025/subtitling

Why participate? ✨ Contribute to advancing real-world systems for multilingual speech translation, particularly for underrepresented languages ✨ Collaborate to bridge linguistic divides & make this technology more accessible to millions of speakers worldwide

For the 2nd iteration... 🆕 Significantly more data for low-resource Indic languages + more language directions! ➡️ Both English to Indic and Indic to English translation directions, addressing the unique challenges posed by low-resource linguistic contexts.

Our final task highlight: Indic speech translation! 🎯 Goal: develop a speech-to-text translation model that bridges the gap for low-resource Indian languages, focusing on Hindi, Bengali, and Tamil from the Indo-Aryan and Dravidian families. 🔗: iwslt.org/2025/indic

Why participate? ✨Low-resource is truly the frontier, and there are many ways to making an impact for a language community: from providing a dataset for a language that is missing one, to exploring the limits of different models and techniques.

🆕 This year includes new and more diverse language pairs (e.g. Fongbe to French, Estonian to English) in addition to continuing pairs 🆕🔊 Also new this year is a *data track* which encourages the creation of new speech translation datasets for less-supported languages

Today's task: Low-resource ST! 🎯 Goal: Building speech translation models for currently underserved, mostly low-resource languages and varieties 🗓️ This is the 5th iteration, with new and continuing language pairs (10 total!) 🔗: iwslt.org/2025/low-resou…
