This paper updates the progress made on the PRINCIPLE project, a 2-year action funded by the European Commission un-der the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme. PRINCIPLE focuses on col-lecting high-quality language resources for Croatian, Icelandic, Irish and Norwe-gian, which have been identified as low-resource languages, especially for build-ing effective machine translation (MT) systems. We report initial achievements of the project and ongoing activities aimed at promoting the uptake of neural MT for the low-resource languages of the project.
