    <abstract>This paper describes the UvA-MT’s submission to the WMT 2023 shared task on general machine translation. We participate in the constrained track in two directions: English łeftrightarrow Hebrew. In this competition, we show that by using one model to handle bidirectional tasks, as a minimal setting of Multilingual Machine Translation (MMT), it is possible to achieve comparable results with that of traditional bilingual translation for both directions. By including effective strategies, like back-translation, re-parameterized embedding table, and task-oriented fine-tuning, we obtained competitive final results in the automatic evaluation for both English \rightarrow Hebrew and Hebrew \rightarrow English directions.</abstract>
