Sunbird Translate (now Sunflower)

The Sunbird Translate system can automatically take text from any of the five local languages; Acholi, Ateso, Luganda, Lugbara and Runyankole and translate it to and from English with state of the art accuracy. We train multilingual models to do translation between multiple languages using recent advances in deep neural networks, making it robust and easily extensible to other languages and to improvements with additional data. We are now working on turning these resources into social impact.
