How these two languages compare, and what it means for your translations.
Persian and Swahili are both written in the Arabic 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.
Persian belongs to the Indo-European family while Swahili belongs to the Niger-Congo 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 between these two.
Persian follows subject-object-verb (SOV) order while Swahili 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. Longer sentences are more likely to shift meaning — splitting them up improves accuracy.
