Kwakwala translator

Kwakwala translator provides bilingual translation between Kwakwala and English, focusing on accurate word sense, phrase-level translation, and lexical glossaries.
It combines lexical lookup with lightweight morphological analysis to handle affixes, particles, and grammar cues common in Kwakwala. The tool uses a bilingual lexicon, context-aware disambiguation, and optional transliteration to Latin script for learners. Outputs include the target language text and optional gloss notes that explain key terms and morphemes.
Who benefits: language learners, field researchers, community language programs, and translators working on documentation, field notes, or community newsletters. The system supports dialect variation where documented and flags uncertain segments for review. Unique value comes from a hybrid approach: rule-informed morphology, curated indigenous glossaries, and exportable translations suitable for teaching materials and fieldwork. Core features include transliteration hints, glossary import/export, and batch translation for multiple sentences or short passages.
Use cases span classroom drills, community communications, and archival transcription projects, where accuracy, cultural relevance, and ease of use are important.
