The SeamlessM4T v2 card's headline counts (101 speech input, 96 text, 35 speech output) are lower than its own language table (103 speech-source, 97 text-source, 97 text-target, 37 speech-target rows, including a cmn_Hant variant); an agent should check the table row for a specific language. Text coverage for the medium model is 200 languages via NLLB-200. Weights are CC BY-NC 4.0 (CA-B364).
