Hi Tony, 

As I had mentioned before, we are taking a different approach by using both Swahili and English entries on Wikipedia as training sets. Also, we are not using the data for any commercial use. At the same time, content from the wiki is provided for gratis(?) licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution license.

I don't know how legal/agreeable this may be....

How about pulling the text from a random website/blog that has equivalent transcripts  in both languages?

In mind I have http://bitcoins.co.ke/index.html <--- Bitcoins Not BanglaPesa!! 

Maybe you'll first have to contact the owners of such sites for their consent.

Tony.
