Rohingya to English translation

What happens when you paste Rohingya text into this translator, and how to judge whether the English you get back can be trusted.

Start here

Open the translator, set the source language to Rohingya (or leave it on detect) and the target to English. You can type Rohingyalish with ordinary letters, type Hanifi Rohingya using the on-screen keyboard, or speak into the microphone.

How the translation is produced

  • Every word in your text is looked up first in the verified Rohingya lexicon and glossary. Where a human-checked entry exists, that meaning is used and the language model cannot override it.
  • Similar sentences already translated and approved are retrieved and shown to the model as worked examples.
  • The English output is translated back into Rohingya and compared with your original. If the two drift apart, the confidence is lowered and a warning appears.
  • Words with no verified entry are listed as uncertain instead of being silently guessed.

What it is good and bad at

It handles everyday vocabulary, greetings, family terms, health and aid-related words reasonably well, because those are the areas where verified entries exist. It is weakest on long, idiomatic or legal text, on place and personal names, and on regional vocabulary from a single township. Do not rely on it unchecked for medical consent, legal statements or anything where a mistake carries consequences — use it to prepare, and have a speaker confirm.

Checking a result

  • Read the confidence label and any drift warning before using the text.
  • Use “Explain this translation” to see which words came from the verified lexicon.
  • Look the key words up in the dictionary, where each entry shows its meaning, pronunciation and source.
  • If something is wrong, submit a correction — it goes to a reviewer, and approved corrections improve every later translation.
