English to Media Lengua translator

freeno signupevery rule published

Google Translate does not offer Media Lengua. This translator asks Google for Kichwa, the closest language it does offer, and then rewrites that into Media Lengua with a documented set of rules: word swaps, sound changes and grammar. It is a rule-based rewrite, not a human translation, so check anything that matters with a speaker.

0 / 240

31.5 on 300 real sentences; Google's Kichwa as is: 25.5.

The score is chrF: how closely the output matches what real Media Lengua speakers wrote, character by character, from 0 to 100. Tested on 300 held-out example sentences of the Pijal Media Lengua dictionary (Stewart et al. 2020, CC BY 4.0), spelling folded.

How the rewrite works

Pijal Media Lengua from Kichwa: the Kichwa endings stay, the roots are Spanish (kome-ni, I eat).

The rules are a plain file anyone can read, test and copy. Every translation shows Google's Kichwa underneath, so you can see exactly what the rules changed.
