title: Aligned word vectors
---

We are publishing aligned word vectors for 44 languages based on the pre-trained vectors computed on [*Wikipedia*](https://www.wikipedia.org) using fastText.
The alignments are performed with the RCSLS method described in [*Joulin et al (2018)*](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.07745).

### Vectors

The aligned vectors can be downloaded from:

### Format

The word vectors come in the default text format of fastText.
The first line gives the number of vectors and their dimension.
The other lines contain a word followed by its vector. Each value is space separated.
