Translation dataset based on the data from statmt.org.

Versions exist for different years using a combination of data sources. The base wmt allows you to create a custom dataset by choosing your own data/language pair. This can be done as follows:

from datasets import inspect_dataset, load_dataset_builder

inspect_dataset("wmt18", "path/to/scripts")
builder = load_dataset_builder(
    "path/to/scripts/wmt_utils.py",
    language_pair=("fr", "de"),
    subsets={
        datasets.Split.TRAIN: ["commoncrawl_frde"],
        datasets.Split.VALIDATION: ["euelections_dev2019"],
    },
)

# Standard version
builder.download_and_prepare()
ds = builder.as_dataset()

# Streamable version
ds = builder.as_streaming_dataset()
