Zulu and Ndebele South 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 Zulu and Ndebele South 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.
Zulu follows verb-subject-object (VSO) order while Ndebele South follows subject-verb-object (SVO). 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.
Zulu: Approximately 13 million speakers, making it one of the most widely spoken languages in South Africa. Ndebele South: Approximately 1.1 million speakers.
