Description

Issue encountered

At the moment, we assume one single script per language (which is incorrect).

Solution/Feature

The Language enum needs to be updated to include the script, and templates need to be edited to select which script to provide among the alternatives. See the FLORES 200 task for an example where some subsets had to be removed for this reason.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Update the Language enum to include a script field, then modify templates to select the appropriate script based on context.
