Yoruba and Igbo 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 Yoruba and Igbo 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.
Both languages follow subject-verb-object (SVO) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.
Yoruba: Approximately 46-50 million speakers worldwide, with about 44 million in Nigeria and significant populations in Benin and diaspora. Igbo: Approximately 27-30 million speakers worldwide, primarily in Nigeria with significant diaspora populations.
