Bambara uses Latin while Wolof uses Arabic.

Wolof also reads right-to-left, so the translated text appears mirrored compared with the Bambara input.
Both languages follow subject-verb-object (SVO) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.
Bambara: Approximately 14 million speakers, making it the most widely spoken language in Mali and serving as the lingua franca. Wolof: Approximately 8.5 million native speakers, with an additional 3 million second-language speakers.
