Dear Skunks. We are creating an online application form and we need it in both English and Swahili. My question is, instead of creating 2 forms, is it possible just to create one form in English and have it translated in swahili automatically by google? is there such a thing? Thanks

This got me thinking, so I tested my 1 cent Kiswahili on google translate and it seemed to work great. So you are on the right path, though I don't know if the translator engine will get the lexis right all the way. On 7 April 2014 10:19, Yvonne Murenga <yvymurenga@gmail.com> wrote:

Google translator is horrible. Though will help you to some extent, you cant rely on it to perfect your work. Perfect it yourself (2 forms/articles maybe) side by side. Tenses, adjectives etc....na ngeli :) See example below: Try some yourself. *http://tinyurl.com/ntampon <http://tinyurl.com/ntampon>* *http://tinyurl.com/qbzp9ob <http://tinyurl.com/qbzp9ob>* Kind Regards, Wilson./
