This paper reports the Machine Translation (MT) systems submitted by the IIITT team for the English?Marathi and English-Irish language pairs LoResMT 2021 shared task. The task focuses on getting exceptional translations for rather low-resourced languages like Irish and Marathi. We fine-tune IndicTrans, a pretrained multilingual NMT model for English?Marathi, using external parallel corpus as input for additional training. We have used a pretrained Helsinki-NLP Opus MT English-Irish model for the latter language pair. Our approaches yield relatively promising results on the BLEU metrics. Under the team name IIITT, our systems ranked 1, 1, and 2 in English?Marathi, Irish?English, and English?Irish respectively. The codes for our systems are published. ? 2021 Proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Technologies for Machine Translation of Low-Resource Languages, LoResMT 2021. All rights reserved...
