Hausa uses Arabic while English uses Latin. 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. Hausa reads right-to-left while English reads left-to-right, so the direction of the text flips during translation.
Hausa belongs to the Afro-Asiatic 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.
Hausa: Approximately 70-80 million speakers worldwide, with about 44 million native speakers primarily in Nigeria and Niger. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
