+# KenTrans: Kenyan Languages to Swahili Translation Dataset
+
+## Dataset Structure
+**KenTrans** is a parallel corpus between **Swahili** and three Kenyan languages (with multiple Luhya dialects). The dataset contains **11,795** sentence pairs translated **into Swahili**:
+
+- **Dholuo → Swahili:** 4,222 pairs
+- **Luhya → Swahili (total):** 7,573 pairs across three dialects
+  - **Lumarachi (lch):** 2,475 pairs
+  - **Lulogooli (llg):** 3,692 pairs
+  - **Lubukusu (lbk):** 1,406 pairs
+
+The dataset is provided in **Parquet format**, which is compatible with Hugging Face `datasets` library version 4.0.0 and above.
+
+Each example contains parallel text with the following fields:
+- **source**: Original sentence in the source language
+- **target**: Translation in Swahili
+
+> Example
+> ```python
+> {
+>   'source': 'OSIEPE MA KENDE',
+>   'target': 'MARAFIKI WA DHATI'
+> }
+> ```
+
+### Languages & Codes
+
+| Language / Dialect | Code | Family / Notes                |
+|--------------------|------|-------------------------------|
+| Dholuo (Luo)       | dho  | Nilotic (western Kenya)       |
+| Lubukusu (Bukusu)  | lbk  | Bantu, Luhya dialect          |
+| Lumarachi (Marachi)| lch  | Bantu, Luhya dialect          |
+| Lulogooli (Logooli)| llg  | Bantu, Luhya dialect          |
+| Swahili            | swa  | Target language for all pairs |
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+### Loading with 🤗 Datasets
+
+**Compatible with datasets 4.0.0+** (No `trust_remote_code` needed!)
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+# Load Dholuo → Swahili
+dho = load_dataset("Kencorpus/KenTrans", "dho")
+
+# Load Lubukusu → Swahili
+lbk = load_dataset("Kencorpus/KenTrans", "lbk")
+
+# Load Lumarachi → Swahili
+lch = load_dataset("Kencorpus/KenTrans", "lch")
+
+# Load Lulogooli → Swahili
+llg = load_dataset("Kencorpus/KenTrans", "llg")
+
+# Access the data
+print(dho['train'][0])
+# Output: {'id': 'dho_dho_combined.txt_0', 'source': '6AM DALA FM NEWS...', 'target': 'VIDOKEZI VYA HABARI...', ...}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Dataset Format
+
+The dataset is stored in **Parquet format** with the following structure:
+- Each language pair has its own Parquet file (e.g., `dho-train.parquet`)
+- Each row represents a parallel sentence pair
+- All metadata is included in the Parquet schema
+
+## Dataset Format
+
+The dataset is distributed as **Parquet files** for optimal performance and compatibility:
+
+- **Format**: Apache Parquet (columnar storage)
+- **Encoding**: UTF-8
+- **File naming**: `{language}-train.parquet` (e.g., `dho-train.parquet`)
+- **Compatibility**: Works with `datasets` 4.0.0+ without custom loading scripts
+
+---
+
+## Data Fields (Programmatic View)
+
+When parsed into records, each example can be represented with:
+
+- `id`: Unique identifier (e.g., `dho_0773_dho_tr.txt_0`)
+- `source`: Source language sentence
+- `target`: Target Swahili sentence
+- `src_lang`: One of `dho`, `lbk`, `lch`, `llg`
+- `tgt_lang`: Always `swa`
+- `pair`: Language pair as `"{src}-{tgt}"` (e.g., `dho-swa`)
+- `filename`: Source filename (e.g., `0773_dho_tr.txt`)
