Machine Translation is an application area of the field Natural Language Processing (NLP), used to transfer information from one language to another. Creating these tools require a lot of data, including data about the semantic relationships of the texts, and for unspoken languages like Ancient Greek, there does not exist a l

As these platforms face closure or data loss, there is a risk of losing users’ contributions forever. While govern
