## About The Project
Masakhane is a open source started in September 2019 that aims to build translation models for African languages.
This project is a bot that use the English-Lingala MNT model from the project and help to translate your english tweets into Lingala
Lingala is one of the most spoken language in DRC , however only few language has been translated into it. It's even hard to translate local languages to Lingala.
That is why I thought it may be useful to translate English to Lingala.
This bot help you to translate your english tweets into Lingala tweets , in the future it will integrate many languages and will perform a reverse translation.
