SalamandraTA 2B

SalamandraTA 2B is a small translation model derived from BSC's Salamandra 2B base.

Model and training

BSC continued pretraining on 424 billion parallel-data tokens before translation instruction tuning. The internal translation base is not a separate public release here. This version covers 35 European languages and three language varieties. Its tasks include translation, post-editing, grammar correction and translation evaluation. The card distinguishes its older coverage from later 7B updates.SalamandraTA 2B: official model card

Practical use

Practical guidance. Evaluate complete language pairs, rather than treating a language list as evidence of equal quality in every direction. This model may suit focused translation workflows where local memory matters. Use the translation prompt format and inspect names, numbers and omissions. General conversational ability is not the model's stated purpose.
