Rosetta at AlexandriaX-2026: LoRA-Adapted NileChat for Context-Aware Dialectal Arabic Dialogue Translation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 9, 2026 · UTC

This paper describes the Rosetta system for Subtask 1 (Context-Aware English-to-Dialectal Arabic Dialogue Translation) of the AlexandriaX shared task, participating in both constrained and unconstrained tracks. The approach fine-tunes a LoRA adapter on NileChat-3B using structured system/user prompts that condition generation on dialect and dialogue context. For the unconstrained track, the adapter is additionally pretrained on MADAR and PADIC. Rosetta ranked 4th in the constrained track (spBLEU 26.10) and 5th in the unconstrained track (spBLEU 25.09). The experimental results demonstrate that
