The conversion of text or speech from the English language to the Kirundi language is a process that enables communication and understanding between speakers of these distinct linguistic systems. As an example, translating the English phrase “Hello, how are you?” would result in “Bwakeye, amakuru?” in Kirundi.
This type of linguistic transfer is crucial for various reasons, including fostering international collaboration, facilitating access to information for Kirundi speakers, and preserving cultural heritage. Historically, such translation has been vital in fields like education, diplomacy, and trade, leading to greater interconnectedness between English-speaking and Kirundi-speaking communities.
