1. 01

   Limited language support beyond Spanish to Basque

   The model is specifically trained for translation between Spanish and Basque only, limiting its use in broader multilingual applications.

2. 02

   Performance degradation with complex sentences

   Transformer-based models like Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-es-eu may struggle with the nuances of complex sentence structures and idiomatic expressions, leading to less accurate translations.

3. 03

   Resource-intensive model deployment

   Running transformer-based models requires significant computational resources, which can be costly in production environments and may not scale efficiently without substantial hardware investment.
