This paper presents the work of our team, “ArewaNLP,” for the WMT 2024 shared task. The paper describes the system submitted to the Ninth Conference on Machine Translation (WMT24). We participated in the English-Hausa text-only translation task. We fine-tuned the OPUS-MT-en-ha transformer model and our submission achieved competitive results in this task. We achieve a BLUE score of 27.76, 40.31 and 5.85 on the Development Test, Evaluation Test and Challenge Test respectively.
