Expanding African Language Translation Support
Our system currently translates English and several African languages, including Twi, Ewe, Ga, Fante, Yoruba, Dagbani, Kikuyu, Gurene, Luo, Kimeru, and Kusaal. Initially, it supported Ga, Ewe, Twi, and Yoruba, with recent additions like Dagbani and Kenyan languages Kikuyu, Kimeru, and Luo. Future updates will include Swahili, Hausa, Frafra, Buli, Dagaare, Mamprusi, Shona, and more.
What Khaya Offers
Community‑Trained Models
Our translators improve over time through user feedback and additional data sources . Back‑translation techniques have boosted BLEU scores across most languages.
World‑Class Performance
Benchmarks show Khaya’s Yoruba translator beating Google Translate by 1.5 BLEU points from Yoruba to English and 9.8 points from English to Yoruba . Because there is no existing support for most Ghanaian languages in other platforms, Khaya currently provides unique coverage.
Fair Coverage Expansion
We plan releases for northern Ghanaian languages (Hausa, Frafra, Buli) and East African languages (Swahili, Kikuyu, Kimeru) . Our long‑term goal is a many‑to‑many model that can translate between any pair of supported languages.
