This dataset is part of a bachelor thesis work, focusing on the annotation of emotional and sentiment content in literary translations. It involves the annotation of excerpts from Jorge Luis Borges' "Ficciones" in four languages: Spanish, Finnish, English, and Chinese.

A total of 100 fragments were annotated in Spanish and Chinese, with Spanish fragments being annotated by two people to avoid bias. Additionally, 37 fragments were consistently annotated across all four languages, allowing for parallel comparison of sentiment across these languages. In total, 411 excerpts were annotated. This dataset aims to support research in cross-lingual sentiment analysis and the preservation of emotional content in translations.
