How these two languages compare, and what it means for your translations.
Zulu and Swati are both written in the Latin 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.
Zulu follows verb-subject-object (VSO) order while Swati 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. Longer sentences are more likely to shift meaning — splitting them up improves accuracy.
