How this translator works
Rohingya (ISO 639-3: rhg) is an Indo-Aryan language of the Bengali-Assamese branch, spoken in Rakhine State, Myanmar and in Bangladesh. This tool writes Rohingya in the Latin orthography known as Rohingyalish, and can show a Hanifi rendering alongside it.
Verified sources come first
Before anything is written, the app looks up every word of your text in a verified word list, checks a glossary of fixed terms such as organisation and place names, and finds the closest verified example translations. Those references override the model's own guesses.
A meaning check on every translation
Each translation is quietly translated back into your source language and compared with what you wrote. If the meaning has drifted, the confidence is lowered and you see a warning.
People approve every new word
Uncertain words are shown in brackets and highlighted. Anyone can suggest a better wording, and drafted entries always wait in a review queue until a human reviewer approves them.
Common questions
- Is this translator accurate for Rohingya?
- Every word is checked against a lexicon and glossary that human reviewers have approved, and those entries override the language model. The result is then translated back and compared with your original text; if the meaning drifts, the confidence drops and a warning is shown. Words with no verified entry are flagged as uncertain rather than guessed.
- Which Rohingya script does it use?
- Both. Results are written in Rohingyalish, the Latin spelling used in most Rohingya text online, and in Hanifi Rohingya, the language's own right-to-left alphabet. The Hanifi version is produced from the Latin by a deterministic rule engine, never written by the language model.
- Where does the audio come from?
- Only from native speakers. When a recording has been contributed and approved, the Listen button plays it, whole phrase if one exists and otherwise word by word. If nothing has been recorded, the button stays disabled rather than playing a synthetic voice.
- Can I correct a translation?
- Yes. Any result can be corrected, and speakers can also add words and record them. Submissions go to a reviewer and are published only after approval.
- Is the translator free to use?
- Yes, it is free and open to everyone, and the size of the verified corpus is published publicly on the data page.
