Progress with supervised Open Information Extraction (OpenIE) has been primarily limited to English due to the scarcity of training data in other languages. In this paper, we explore techniques to automatically convert English text for training OpenIE systems in other languages. We introduce the Alignment-Augmented Consistent Translation (AACTRANS) model to translate English sentences and their corresponding extractions consistently with each other -with no changes to vocabulary or semantic meaning which may result from independent translations. Using the data generated with AACTRANS, we train a novel two-stage generative OpenIE model, which we call GEN2OIE, that outputs for each sentence: 1) relations in the first stage and 2) all extractions containing the relation in the second stage. GEN2OIE increases relation coverage using a training data transformation technique that is generalizable to multiple languages, in contrast to existing models that use an English-specific training loss. Evaluations on 5 languages -Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi and Telugu -show that the GEN2OIE with AACTRANS data outperforms prior systems by a margin of 6-25% F1. 1 * denotes equal contribution 1 Code and models released at github.com:dair-iitd/moie
