Malagasy 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.
Malagasy belongs to the Austronesian 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.
Malagasy: Approximately 25 million speakers worldwide, with about 24 million in Madagascar where it's the national language. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
