We need your help to preserve indigenous languages!

Due to the overwhelming success in previous workshops like LoResMT and
AmericasNLP we have decided to continue to push the needle for Quechua
to Spanish translations. Please participate in the first edition of
the QUE-SPA speech translation shared task being held at IWSLT 2023.
This low-resource task will help increase language preservation for
low-resource languages. We invite advanced research and approaches of
all types so bring your rule-based, statistical, neural, and more!
