<translate> At present, I work in the field of professional language known as Natural Language Processing, which deals with the mechanics of how to understand how human beings communicate using language. There has been a lot of progress in this field especially in foreign languages, such as English and French. The goal of my efforts is to ensure that our African languages are not left behind. My work here at Mozilla involves creating a database of the voices of Kiswahili speakers to enable us to teach the machine how to understand and function with Kiswahili speakers. In a future article, we will explore the benefits of these tools for us as Kiswahili speakers. <swh>Kwa sasa, ninafanya kazi katika uwanja wa kitaalamu unaojulukana kama Natural Language Processing, unaohusiana na mambo ya kufunza mashine namna ya kuelewa vile ambavyo binadamu wanawasiliana kwa kutumia lugha. Kumekuwa na maendeleo mengi katika uwanja huu hasa kwa lugha za nje, kama Kiingereza na Kifaransa. Lengo la juhudi zangu ni kuhakikisha kwamba lugha zetu za kiafrika haziachwi nyuma. Kazi yangu hapa Mozilla inahusisha kuunda hifadhidata ya sauti za wazungumzaji wa Kiswahili ili kutuwezesha kufunza mashine jinsi ya kuelewa na kutimika na wazungumzaji wa Kiswahili. Katika makala ya baadaye, tutachunguza faida ya vifaa hivi kwetu kama wazungumzaji wa Kiswahili.
