Japanese, Chinese (Traditional/Simplied) should be next ?

For Japanese we can derive from JParaCrow, we can use their pre-trained model to teach our Japanese model to reduce our training time, but JParaCrow is a big model and our target is small model ?

And Vietnamese too.

My bad, it's JParaCrawl: https://www.kecl.ntt.co.jp/icl/lirg/jparacrawl/

Everything is in the above article.

From personal experience, translation from multiple choices (ru, en, spanish, etc.) to Czech language is usually at least medium quality and already delivering added value (at least with extention before 118). I would propose adding Czech.

Would you be willing to help evaluate a few Czech translations, so we can have some data points on whether to include it or not?
If yes, I will send you something via email.
