Instead of swapping words one at a time, Mansa translates the intent behind a sentence, so tone, idiom, and cultural context survive the move between languages.

Mansa Translate covers 30+ African languages alongside English, and can translate between two African languages directly rather than routing through English.

Yes. Translations preserve register, so a formal notice stays formal and a casual message still sounds casual.

Idioms are translated for meaning rather than literally, so proverbs and figures of speech land the way they were intended.

Yes. Longer passages and documents are translated as a whole, so structure and meaning stay intact across the full text.

Native speakers and expert linguists review translations continuously, and that feedback feeds back into model training.

Yes. The translation API lets you build African-language translation into your app, website, or support tooling.

Text you translate is never used to train our models without explicit consent, and enterprise data is handled under strict privacy and security controls.
