+
+## Additional language information  
+We used el-sozduk.kg, which provides multiple dictionaries including Kyrgyz-English, Kyrgyz-Russian, English-Kyrgyz, and Russian-Kyrgyz. Since Kazakh and Kyrgyz are highly mutually intelligible, we also consulted sozdik.kz (a Kazakh dictionary) to assist with translations and cross-checking. In addition, we used other English-to-Turkic language dictionaries to further inform our translations. Russian was frequently used as an intermediary language, both for dictionary lookups (e.g., via multitran.com for English-Russian) and for clarifying meanings between English and Kyrgyz or other Turkic languages.
+  
+## Workflow
+Our translation team included six native Kyrgyz speakers: two experienced translators and two students from the Kyrgyz-English Language Program at Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University. We followed the OLDI (2025) guidelines. The workflow had four stages: (1) machine translation using Aitil (https://translate.mamtil.gov.kg/), a Gemma3-based MT service fine-tuned by Ulut Soft LLC, (2) manual correction by individual translators, (3) team terminology unification, and (4) cross-validation and peer review to ensure accuracy and consistency.
+
+## Additional guidelines  
+We created a supplementary list of terms—an English-to-Kyrgyz mini-dictionary—for words and expressions that could not be found in any existing English-Kyrgyz or Russian-Kyrgyz dictionaries. This resource is available in the paper's repository: https://github.com/kyrgyz-nlp/oldi-dataset-experiments/blob/main/mini-dictionary.txt
+
+Terminology consultation and review were led by one of the co-authors, Assoc. Prof.Dr. Aida Kasieva, Department of Simultaneous Translation, Faculty of Humanities of the Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University. Her expertise ensured the accuracy and consistency of specialized vocabulary throughout the dataset.
