Swahili uses Latin while Malayalam uses Malayalam. 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.
Swahili belongs to the Niger-Congo family while Malayalam belongs to the Dravidian 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.
Swahili follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Malayalam follows subject-object-verb (SOV). 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.
Swahili: Approximately 100 million speakers, making it a widely spoken language in East Africa and a lingua franca for the region. Malayalam: Approximately 40 million speakers, making it the eighth most spoken language in India.
