thats how , for example, `asking for help` does not become `kuulizia msaada` but  rather  `kuomba msaada`. there are many other examples esp as pertains swa &lt;==&gt; english <br>
<br>hence the reason why translating `reference` into the swa phrase might obscure the intended meaning.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 8:44 AM, John Doe <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:fivepings@gmail.com" target="_blank">fivepings@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
