Help preserve South American indigenous languages through speech technology!


*== QUECHUA-SPANISH SPEECH TRANSLATION SHARED TASK ? IWSLT 2026 ==*
We are excited to announce the 2026 edition of the Quechua-to-Spanish
(QUE-SPA) speech translation shared task, part of the Low-Resource Speech
Translation track at IWSLT 2026. The conference will be co-located with ACL
2026 in San Diego, CA, USA on July 3?4, 2026.

Quechua is spoken by more than 8 million people across Peru, Ecuador, and
Bolivia, yet remains one of the most underrepresented languages in speech
technology. Building on the success of previous workshops (LoResMT,
AmericasNLP, and prior IWSLT editions), we continue our effort to push the
state of the art in low-resource speech translation.

We welcome all approaches: neural, statistical, rule-based, end-to-end,
cascaded, and more!
