English-Kiswahili Translation Prompts: Natural, Not Machine-Like
Translate into natural Kiswahili with correct register — formal, informal or Sheng — plus the quality-control prompts that catch mistakes before you send it anywhere.
Register beats vocabulary
The right Kiswahili word matters less than the right tone. Tell the AI who's reading and how formal to be, and it selects register before vocabulary.
Always verify, then polish
For anything you'll send or publish, run the output through a review pass and re-read it yourself. Machine fluency is not the same as human accuracy yet.
