English and Cebuano are both written in Latin, so the translated output uses characters you already recognise. You can usually read the result aloud without transliteration, though spelling conventions and accented characters still differ.
English belongs to the Indo-European family while Cebuano belongs to the Austronesian 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 Cebuano follows verb-subject-object (VSO). 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. Cebuano: Approximately 21 million speakers, making it one of the most spoken languages in the Philippines and the second most spoken native language after Tagalog.
