We propose a simple method to generate large amounts of multilingual question and answer pairs by a single generative model.

Our approach only requires existence of automatically translated samples from English to the target domain, thus removing the need for human annotations in the target languages. Experimental results show our proposed approach achieves significant gains in a number of multilingual datasets.
