A system designed to convert text or speech from Cape Verde Creole (also known as Kriolu) into another language, or vice versa, facilitates communication between speakers of Kriolu and those unfamiliar with it. For instance, it could render a document written in Kriolu into English, French, or Portuguese, making the content accessible to a broader audience.
Such systems play a crucial role in preserving and promoting the Cape Verdean language and culture. They enable wider access to information, enhance educational opportunities for Kriolu speakers, and foster international collaboration. Historically, these translation tools were limited, but advancements in technology have significantly improved their accuracy and availability, contributing to greater linguistic inclusivity.
