English uses Latin while Amharic uses Ge'ez. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.
English belongs to the Indo-European family while Amharic belongs to the Afro-Asiatic family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
English follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Amharic follows subject-object-verb (SOV). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.
English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers. Amharic: Approximately 33.7 million native speakers, with an additional 25.1 million second-language speakers.
