Missing West Flemish (Belgian Flemish) language in NLLB

❓ Questions and Help

It is a great contribution to release such a massive inclusion of the languages and dialects into a big translation model. Thanks :+1:

Opposed to the promising name, some low-resource languages are -as stated in the paper- still not included in the model like West Flemish (ISO 639-3 code: vls). Is the FLORES-200 benchmark open for contribution for similar languages?

Secondly, I'm not yet expert in the Machine Translation yet, what are the best options to exploit such MT model for non-existing languages?
