Unique: Uses learned language-specific tokens as a control mechanism rather than separate model heads or adapters, enabling zero-shot translation to unseen language pairs by leveraging the shared M2M-100 embedding space. This approach requires no architectural changes or additional parameters per language.

vs others: More flexible than single-language-pair models (no model switching overhead) but less robust than explicit language-specific fine-tuning, which would require separate model checkpoints per target language.
