How these two languages compare, and what it means for your translations.
Ilocano and Waray are both written in the Latin script, so the translated output will use characters you already recognise. You can usually read the result aloud without transliteration, though spelling conventions and accented characters still differ between the two languages.
Both Ilocano and Waray belong to the Austronesian language family. Related languages tend to share vocabulary roots and comparable sentence structure, which generally makes machine translation between them more reliable — though false friends, words that look alike but mean different things, are also more common between relatives.
Ilocano follows verb-subject-object (VSO) order while Waray follows subject-verb-object (SVO). 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. Longer sentences are more likely to shift meaning — splitting them up improves accuracy.
