Not sure if you've been to the middle east, but there's no way the labourers will have access to the internet besides their phones. And those phones can only be used to communicate with their loved ones back home, using Whatsapp.

They don't (or rather CAN) care about anything else in the world.

They have a lot more problems than "this model doesn't convert urdu to arabic well".

WhatsApp is a gateway to many things. Meta's Ai is on WhatsApp. Openai is on WhatsApp https://www.hindustantimes.com/technology/whatsapp-users-can... and I would really expect this model to have a WhatsApp gateway as well.

I get what you mean, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. That they're a lost cause with too many problems and we shouldn't care about that use case? Why wouldn't we want to create models to provide more capabilities / information regardless?

they still need to communicate with local administration via "citizen app"(whatever it is called) to access any service, pay their fines, etc...(and be tracked) I'm guessing the stake holder in this project is the government of qatar
