Ewe and English 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.
Ewe belongs to the Niger-Congo family while English belongs to the Indo-European 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.
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.
Ewe: Approximately 4.5 million speakers worldwide, with about 3.1 million in Ghana and 1.4 million in Togo. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
