Abstract: We introduce Padyam2Gadyam, a dataset for the task of poem-to-prose translation from 13th-17th Century Telugu Classical Poetry to contemporary Telugu and English prose. The dataset consists of 600 poems and their human-verified Telugu and English prose translations. 摘要： 我们介绍了 Padyam2Gadyam，这是一个用于将 13 至 17 世纪泰卢固语古典诗歌翻译为现代泰卢固语和英语散文的数据集。该数据集包含 600 首诗歌及其经人工验证的泰卢固语和英语散文译文。
We evaluated 5 contemporary Large Language Models (LLMs) on their ability to do poem-to-prose translation into Telugu and English. Our results indicate that while there are differences across LLMs, their overall performance leave a large room for improvement in both languages. 我们评估了 5 种当代大语言模型（LLM）在泰卢固语和英语诗歌转散文翻译任务中的表现。结果表明，尽管不同模型之间存在差异，但它们在两种语言上的整体表现仍有很大的提升空间。
Through qualitative analysis, we discuss the capabilities and limitations of contemporary MT evaluation approaches for this task. 通过定性分析，我们讨论了当代机器翻译（MT）评估方法在处理此类任务时的能力与局限性。
