Challenge:	MT has seen significant advances in recent years, but the representation of African languages in MT systems is underrepresented due to linguistic complexities and limited resources.
Approach:	They propose a first robust parallel French-Zarma corpus and a glossary for MT that contains 61,085 sentences in Zarma and 42,789 in French.
Outcome:	The proposed model improves the representation of the Zarma language, a dialect of Songhay, spoken by over 5 million people across Niger and neighboring countries.
