+# Multilingual Prompt Guard Training
+
+This documentation explains how to use the enhanced semantic-router training scripts to support multilingual PII and Prompt Guard classification models by **translating existing training datasets** to multiple languages.
+
+## Overview
+
+The semantic-router now supports comprehensive multilingual training by translating existing English datasets used in training:
+
+- **PII Detection**: Already supported multilingual training via AI4Privacy dataset (English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish)
+- **Prompt Guard**: Now supports multilingual training by **translating all existing datasets** (salad-data, toxic-chat, SPML injection, etc.) to multiple languages
+
+## Current Multilingual Support Status
+
+### PII Detection ✅ (Already Implemented)
+- Uses AI4Privacy dataset with 6 languages
+- Command: `python pii_bert_finetuning.py --dataset ai4privacy --languages all`
+- Supported languages: English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish
+
+### Prompt Guard ✅ (Newly Implemented) 
+- **Translation-based multilingual dataset generation from existing datasets**
+- All existing training datasets (salad-data, toxic-chat, etc.) can be translated to 10+ languages
+- Support for batch translation and caching for large datasets
+- Command: `python translate_existing_datasets.py --target-languages fr es de --dataset-group prompt_guard_default`
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Translate Existing Datasets to Multiple Languages
+
+```bash
+cd src/training/prompt_guard_fine_tuning
+
+# Translate all default prompt guard datasets to multiple languages
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --target-languages fr es de it pt
+
+# Translate specific datasets with full samples (no limits)
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --source-datasets salad-data toxic-chat --target-languages fr es de
+
+# Use batch translation for better performance with large datasets
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --target-languages fr es de --batch-translate --batch-size 64
+
+# List available dataset groups
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --list-datasets
+```
+
+### 2. Train Multilingual Prompt Guard Models
+
+```bash
+# Train with translated multilingual datasets
+python jailbreak_bert_finetuning.py --mode train --languages fr es de --datasets multilingual-fr multilingual-es multilingual-de
+
+# Train with default English datasets plus multilingual
+python jailbreak_bert_finetuning.py --mode train --languages en fr es --datasets default multilingual-fr multilingual-es
+
+# Use auto-optimization for best performance
+python jailbreak_bert_finetuning.py --mode train --model modernbert-base --languages fr es de it
+```
+
+### 3. Train Multilingual PII Models
+
+```bash
+# Train with all supported languages (existing AI4Privacy dataset)
+python pii_bert_finetuning.py --mode train --dataset ai4privacy --languages all
+
+# Train with specific languages
+python pii_bert_finetuning.py --mode train --dataset ai4privacy --languages English French German Spanish
+```
+
+## Supported Languages
+
+### Prompt Guard Classification
+- **fr**: French
+- **es**: Spanish  
+- **de**: German
+- **it**: Italian
+- **pt**: Portuguese
+- **zh**: Chinese
+- **ja**: Japanese
+- **ko**: Korean
+- **ru**: Russian
+- **ar**: Arabic
+- **en**: English (default)
+
+### PII Detection (AI4Privacy Dataset)
+- English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish
+
+## Dataset Translation Methodology
+
+Our approach focuses on **translating existing high-quality English datasets** rather than generating synthetic data:
+
+### 1. Comprehensive Dataset Translation
+- Translates ALL existing datasets used in training (salad-data, toxic-chat, SPML injection, etc.)
+- Maintains original dataset structure, labels, and quality
+- Uses state-of-the-art NLLB translation models
+- Supports batch processing for large datasets
+
+### 2. Available Dataset Groups
+- **prompt_guard_default**: Core training datasets (salad-data, toxic-chat, spml-injection, chatbot-instructions, orca-agentinstruct, vmware-openinstruct)
+- **prompt_guard_all**: All available datasets including additional ones
+- **jailbreak_only**: Only jailbreak/attack datasets  
+- **benign_only**: Only benign instruction datasets
+
+### 3. Quality Control
+- Intelligent caching to avoid re-translation
+- Batch translation for improved consistency
+- Automatic error handling and fallback
+- Comprehensive statistics and validation
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Translate All Default Datasets
+
+```bash
+# Translate core prompt guard datasets to 5 languages
+python translate_existing_datasets.py \
+  --dataset-group prompt_guard_default \
+  --target-languages fr es de it pt \
+  --batch-translate
+```
+
+### Translate Specific Datasets
+
+```bash
+# Translate only jailbreak datasets
+python translate_existing_datasets.py \
+  --source-datasets salad-data toxic-chat spml-injection \
+  --target-languages fr es de \
+  --batch-translate \
+  --batch-size 64
+```
+
+### Large Scale Translation
+
+```bash
+# Translate all available datasets with no sample limits
+python translate_existing_datasets.py \
+  --dataset-group prompt_guard_all \
+  --target-languages fr es de it pt zh ja \
+  --batch-translate \
+  --max-samples-per-source None
+```
+
+### Fine-tuning with Translated Datasets
+
+```bash
+# Train using translated datasets
+python jailbreak_bert_finetuning.py --mode train \
+  --model modernbert-base \
+  --languages fr es de \
+  --datasets multilingual-fr multilingual-es multilingual-de \
+  --max-epochs 10 \
+  --target-accuracy 0.95
+```

+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Translation Performance
+- **Batch translation**: Use `--batch-translate` for 5-10x speed improvement
+- **Caching**: Automatic caching prevents re-translation
+- **Memory management**: Large datasets handled efficiently
+- **Progress tracking**: Real-time progress indicators
+
+### Training Performance
+- **No sample limits**: Translate full datasets for best model quality
+- **Balanced datasets**: Maintains jailbreak/benign ratios from source
+- **Model selection**: ModernBERT recommended for multilingual tasks
+
+### Resource Requirements
+- **GPU recommended**: For translation models (fallback to CPU available)
+- **Storage**: Plan for ~5x storage (original + 4 languages)  
+- **Memory**: Batch translation reduces memory usage
+
+## Migration from Synthetic Generation
+
+If you were using the previous synthetic generation approach:
+
+```bash
+# OLD: Limited synthetic generation
+python offline_multilingual_generator.py --languages fr es --samples-per-lang 1000
+
+# NEW: Comprehensive translation of existing datasets  
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --target-languages fr es --dataset-group prompt_guard_default
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Translation Issues
+```bash
+# Check available datasets
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --list-datasets
+
+# Test with limited samples first
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --target-languages fr --max-samples-per-source 100
+
+# Disable batch translation if issues occur
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --target-languages fr es # (no --batch-translate flag)
+```
+
+### Memory Issues
+```bash
+# Reduce batch size
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --target-languages fr es --batch-translate --batch-size 16
+
+# Limit samples per dataset
+python translate_existing_datasets.py --target-languages fr es --max-samples-per-source 5000
+```
+
+### Network Issues
+```bash
+# Use offline synthetic generation as fallback
+python offline_multilingual_generator.py --languages fr es de --samples-per-lang 1000
+```
+
