Yoruba and Kanuri 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.
Yoruba belongs to the Niger-Congo family while Kanuri belongs to the Nilo-Saharan 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.
Yoruba follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Kanuri 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.
Yoruba: Approximately 46-50 million speakers worldwide, with about 44 million in Nigeria and significant populations in Benin and diaspora. Kanuri: Roughly 4 million speakers across Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon.
