Social Problems in Africa/West Africa/Guinea that we would like to address

• People are divided by language (ethnocentrism). Politicians and social media exacerbate this.
  • Cause: history is told in divisive ways
  • Solution: Revive history as told in old African ways — unifying message.
  • Unifying messages to be written in African languages
  • Such messages should be translated to all African languages and will promote peace
  • Messages that highlight similarities between people of different languages, ethnicities, and origins, rather than their differences.
  • Find existing materials to be translated.
• The education system is broken because of language marginalization (solution make education materials available in African languages. Prioritize scientific materials, historical materials.)
• The world's largest encyclopedia, Wikipedia is not available in most African languages.
• Food security:

nqo detransliteration models only support lower-case latin inputs. Latin text should be converted to lower-case before detransliteration.

• command line tool for stream detransliteration
  • this should accept model name as argument

• build and run tests upon commit
• release to pypi upon packaging

• command line tool for column extraction from csv/tsv file

Examples of unsupported classifiers

• "Natural Language :: Mande",
• "Natural Language :: Manding",
• "Natural Language :: N'ko",
• "Natural Language :: Bambara",
• "Natural Language :: Maninka",

and all african languages...
what is the process?

• e.g support adlam detransliteration
• TODO:
  • rename library from latin2nqo to detransliterator
  • include language codes in model names e.g. 001.38 to latin2nqo_001.38
  • rename pypi deployment
  • update documentation
