"These grants ought to be used to purchase better equipment." Film technology here is far behind the times--even for something as basic as theater sound systems. Wang notes that whereas all mainland theaters use four-track sound systems, some theaters in Taiwan showing local films still have only one-track systems.

English ↔ Traditional Chinese Translation Dataset
This dataset is a curated combination of two high-quality parallel corpora for English to Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) translation. It is designed for training, fine-tuning, or evaluating machine translation models, especially in academic or production settings.
📚 Dataset Overview
Source datasets:
Filtering criteria:
- Sentence pairs scored using LaBSE (Language-Agnostic BERT Sentence Embedding) to assess translation quality.
- Only pairs with a LaBSE cosine similarity > 0.7 were retained.
- English sentence lengths between 5 and 500 characters were kept.
- Exact duplicates across datasets were removed.
