Tarjumi

Low-resource African-language machine translation, as an API.

Tarjumi translates between English and African languages — Swahili, Kikuyu, Luo, Luganda, Kinyarwanda, Somali, and more — with a focus on the languages and domains (health, public services) that mainstream engines handle poorly.

• API reference — endpoints, auth, examples.
• How we evaluate quality — every quality claim is backed by independent, human-referenced, statistically-tested measurement.

Why it's different

Most engines optimise for high-resource languages and general text. Tarjumi is fine-tuned and evaluated specifically for low-resource languages on specialised domains — and we measure it honestly: independent references (FLORES-200, TICO-19), third-party metrics (chrF++/spBLEU), contamination checks, and paired-bootstrap confidence intervals. We only claim quality where the numbers support it.
