Abstract

We describe our submission to the Turkic languages translation challenge at LoResMT 2026, which focuses on translation from Russian into Kyrgyz. Our approach leverages parallel data, synthetic translations, a comprehensive filtering pipeline and a four-stage curriculum learning strategy. We compare our system with contemporary baselines and present the model that achieves a chrF++ score of 49.1 and takes first place in the competition.
