Ndebele South and Zulu 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.
Both Ndebele South and Zulu belong to the Niger-Congo 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.
Ndebele South follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Zulu 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.
