Machine Translation and NLP Tools: Developing and Refining Language Technologies for African Languages

Author(s) Raphael Iyamu
Country United States
Abstract Machine Translation (MT) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools have significantly evolved over the past few decades, leading to notable advancements in the field of language technology. However, most of these developments have been concentrated on languages with abundant data, such as English, Chinese, and European languages. African languages, with their unique linguistic structures and vocabularies, remain underrepresented in the MT and NLP landscape (Joshi et al., 2020). This article explores the challenges and opportunities in creating and refining machine translation models and NLP tools tailored to the unique structures of African languages. It discusses the specific linguistic features that set African languages apart, reviews the current state of MT and NLP tools for these languages, and outlines strategies for developing more effective models that cater to the diverse linguistic landscape of Africa.
