Quick Answer
What is Multilingual AI Training Data?
Multilingual AI training data is speech and text that teaches models to understand and generate a language. It includes recorded speech, transcripts, translated text, labels and human ratings of model output. For low-resource languages and dialects the scarce input is qualified native speakers, which is what Afrasia Trans supplies.

Data labeling
Real Letters, Labeled by Native Speakers
Models learn from what humans label. Our native speakers annotate text and audio in the script and dialect your users write and speak, from Ge’ez and Devanagari to Arabic and Cyrillic, with tags and rules agreed before the first batch.
- Intent, entity and sentiment labels
- Dialect and script tags as metadata
- Rubric-based rating of model output
- Sample review on every batch
Why us
Rare-Language Contributors are the Scarce Input
Large data vendors can scale English and French. Finding qualified native speakers of Tigrinya, Hausa or Gulf Arabic is the hard part, and it is where we focus.
- Contributors recruited and screened per language
- Dialect and accent recorded as metadata
- Second-pass review on a sample of every batch
- Delivery in the file format and schema you specify

How we work
Four Steps from Files to Delivery
Scope
Send your files, target market and deadline. We confirm the dialect or variant, the file format and a fixed price before work starts.
Match
We assign native linguists or voice talent with experience in your subject, and agree a glossary and style notes with you.
Produce and Review
A second native specialist reviews every translation, script or recording against the source and your glossary, in line with ISO 17100.
Deliver
You receive files in the format you need: subtitle files, mixed audio, print-ready layouts or data in your schema.
Data Handling
Tell us your security and privacy requirements at the scoping stage, including NDAs, contributor consent wording and where data may be stored. We set up the project around them.
