Abstract
We present the results of the WMT'22 Shared Task on Large-Scale Machine Translation Evaluation for African Languages. The shared task included both a data and a systems track, along with additional innovations, such as a focus on African languages and extensive human evaluation of submitted systems. We received 14 system submissions from 8 teams, as well as 6 data track contributions. We report a large progress in the quality of translation for African languages since the last iteration of this shared task: there is an increase of about 7.5 BLEU points across 72 language pairs, and the average BLEU scores went from 15.09 to 22.60.
