Keep Naga languages alive online
NagaTranslate is a community project. Every contributed phrase and every small donation directly improves translation quality for thousands of people.
Contribute a translation
Native speaker? Share a phrase and its correct translation. Your contribution goes live immediately and teaches the translator - no account needed.
Please only submit translations you know are correct - they are used to teach the AI. Ao and Sema contributions are especially valuable.
Support the project
100% of contributions go toward API costs, model hosting and server maintenance. Any remaining funds will be donated to charities.

Phrases added by speakers
Every phrase added here or through the translator's Improve button is counted as soon as it is saved. Languages in the translator use new phrases straight away. For the rest, almost no text is available to learn from, so we are collecting first: once a language reaches 500 phrases from speakers, we will start testing a translator for it.

Why a single phrase matters here
Machine translation is built on text, and how much text a language has online determines whether it gets supported at all. English and French have billions of aligned sentence pairs between them. English and Ao have, generously, a few thousand. That difference is the entire reason no major translation service offers these languages.
It also changes the arithmetic of contributing. Adding one contributed sentence to a language with hundreds of millions online changes nothing measurable. Adding one to a language with a few thousand is a visible fraction of everything that exists. Ao and Sümi contributions are worth the most, because those datasets are the smallest.
What happens to what you submit
- Your phrase is saved immediately and kept permanently: there is no review queue that swallows it for weeks.
- Anyone who translates exactly that sentence gets your translation, and it is given to the translator as an example whenever someone translates something similar.
- For languages that are still being collected, phrases are stored for the dataset we are building; nothing is translated in those languages yet.
- Phrases may later be added to the phrasebook and the written guides after they are checked.
- Contributions are not attributed, and we do not ask for your name or email.
What makes a good contribution
- Only submit what you know is right. These entries teach the system, so a wrong one propagates.
- Everyday sentences beat clever ones. “Where is the bus stop?” is worth more than a proverb.
- Note the register where it matters: say in the English side whether a phrase is formal or informal.
- Whole sentences beat isolated words, because they carry the grammar along with them.
