Workflow
The dataset was created by adapting the existing Catalan version of the FLORES+ devtest set. The work was carried out by a single native speaker of the Valencian dialect. The native speaker holds a Ph.D. and has experience in translating into Valencian and reviewing texts in Valencian.
In order to speed up the process, LanguageTool was used to introduce an initial set of changes to the original text. Then, all these changes were manually checked, and other required changes were manually applied, taking into account the aforementioned list of lexical items that change between the different dialects of the Catalan language. In case of doubt, the dictionary of the Valencian Language Academy was checked.
Additional guidelines
Linguistic criteria for the institutional use of the Valencian dialect in the Valencian universities were followed.
