en-us	The meeting was ideally supposed to run from mid-morning to two in the afternoon, but we were still under the Mkilifi tree a few hours to sunset, committing the seven sins and enjoying a profoundly stimulating conversation on the need to archive coastal history. What was supposed to be a menu with a space left for remarks turned into notebooks as everyone wrote down something. Kathleen, a keen observer and a good student based on the clarification queries she had after the meeting, issued us with Mozilla notebooks which came in handy as the informal lessons demanded us to take more notes.
sw	Mkutano ulikuwa umepangwa kuanza kabla ya adhuhuri na kumalizika saa nane mchana, lakini bado tulikuwa chini ya huu Mkilifi karibia na jua kuzama, tukitenda dhambi saba na kuburudika na mazungumzo yenye kusisimua kuhusu umuhimu wa kuhifadhi historiya yetu ya pwani ya Kenya. Ile nafasi iliyoachwa kwenye vijikaratasi vya menyu ilibadilika na kuwa daftari, kila mmoja akiandika kutokana na mazungumzo na fikra za wengine. Kathleen, mwangalizi makini na mwanafunzi mzuri kulingana na maswali ya kutaka ufafanuzi aliyoyauliza baada ya kikao, aligawa daftari za Mozilla ambazo zilisaidia sana maanake mazungumzo yalihitaji kuandikwa zaidi.

Kumekuwepo na kuongezeka kwa jamii katika kutegemea hatua za msingi za AI, zinazoendeshwa na data kushughulikia maswala ya kijamii. Mara nyingi, hili linaweza kusababisha athari zisizotarajiwa kwenye jamii ambazo hatua hizi zimeundwa kutumika. Katika kutafuta jamii yenye sifa zinazohitajika kwenye upande wa kidijitali wa baadaye, tutaalika wawakilishi katika miradi kadhaa ili watoe maelezo kuhusu suluhisho ambazo zinapambana na madhara ya algorithimu.

en-us	The Mozilla Common Voice project, which is in the process of building a suitable foundation for this database, understands the importance of this data and how this writing competition contributes to the development of Kiswahili and Viswahili as a machine-recognizable language. And here when we say 'machine' we mean all devices that rely on technology and the way that speakers of Kiswahili and its dialects can get services, for example through their phones. And it's not just service, because they will be able to participate in various activities to build themselves and also develop the country such as referendum and so on.
sw	Tukithamnini siku zijazo, mradi huu wa Mozilla Common Voice ambao upo katika hali ya kujenga msingi muafaka wa hii hifadhi data, tutagundua umuhimu wa hii data na namna mashindano haya ya uandishi yanachangia kukuza Kiswahili na Viswahili kama lugha ya mashine. Na hapa tukisema ‘mashine’ tunamaanisha vyombo vyote vinavyotegemea teknolojia na namna ambavyo wazungumzaji wa Kiswahili na lahaja zake wanaweza kupata huduma, mathalan kwa simu zao, na lugha ambayo wanaifahamu vyema. Na sio huduma tu, maanake wataweza kushiriki katika shughli mbalimbali za kujijenga wenyewe na pia kuendeleza nchi kama vile kura ya maoni na kadhalika.

en-us	The one challenge with digital literacy programs is sustainability of the trainings. Will the attendees be able to continue learning/practising when we leave? With the introduction of data and airtime taxes it will get harder for most to invest in learning through the internet and to access information. Beyond digital literacy there are a lot of young people who are self-employed through the different services they offer over the internet. When you cannot have people afford internet access it becomes harder for potential customers to see the importance of digital for their businesses. This increased taxation is implemented at a very wrong time, we are still in the covid-19 pandemic.
sw	Changamoto kubwa katika miradi hii ya kutoa elimu ya mtandao ni uthabiti wa kuendesha masomo hayo. Je, washiriki wataendelea kusoma wakati tutakapoondoka?

en-us	The overall goal of AI has been to create technology that allows computers and machines to work intelligently. As we currently understand it, AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. Given the growth we have seen in AI, it was only a matter of time before these (AI) systems began autonomously “inventing” and “creating” works of their own.

Kwa kuzingatia ukuaji ambao tumeona katika AI, ilikuwa ni suala la muda tu kabla ya mifumo hii (AI) kuanza kwa uhuru "kubuni" na "kuunda" kazi kivyao.

en-us	The project is developing a chatbot and an interactive voice response service that will provide voice-enabled services in the domain of business registration and raise awareness about the use of collateral (security) to access credit in Kenya. The main objective is to increase financial literacy around moveable properties as collateral, particularly for women in business, and in particular agriculture, for purposes of accessing credit. Although there has been an increase in the ease of getting credit, most members of the population are still unaware of their capability to access further credit as a result of using moveable properties as collateral. This project will be a continuation of an already ongoing collaboration with the Business Registration Service - BRS (State Corporation) in Kenya in the domain of financial inclusion, which serves the Kenya public.

Ni mojawapo ya vipengele muhimu zaidi vya utamaduni na inaweza kutumika kuhifadhi na kusambaza maarifa, imani na maadili. Lugha si maneno tu, bali pia ishara, sura ya uso, macho, na lugha ya mwili. Ni njia ya kuwasiliana na wengine na kueleza hisia zako, maadili, na imani kwa njia ambayo ni ya kipekee kwa utamaduni wako. Muundo na matumizi ya lugha hutofautiana kutoka utamaduni mmoja hadi mwingine. Kuna vishazi fulani, sentensi, na hata maneno fulani ambayo ni ya kipekee kwa kila utamaduni. Hii inaruhusu kila utamaduni kueleza upekee wake na umoja. Lugha pia husaidia kuhifadhi utambulisho wa kitamaduni, kwani lugha inayotumika katika kila tamaduni huonyesha jinsi watu wa tamaduni hiyo husikiliza na kujibu kila mmoja.

en-us	This ease of translation is not equal among the languages of the world. Particularly when we get to African languages, there is a lot that is missing. Recently, I have had a desire to advance my proficiency in my mother tongue, which is one of the Luhya languages. I am saddened by the lack of tools that would make my efforts easier, as in the French scenario.
sw	Hali hii ya urahisi wa kutafsiri haiko sawa kwa lugha zote za dunia. Hasa tukiingia katika lugha za asili ya kiafrika, kuna mengi yasiyopo. Katika siku za hivi karibuni, nimekuwa na hamu ya kuendeleza uwezo wangu katika lugha yangu ya mama, ambayo ni mojawapo ya lugha za Kiluhya. Nimehuzunishwa sana na ukosefu wa vifaa ambavyo vingerahisisha juhudi zangu, kama katika masomo ya Kifaransa.

Mozilla, in their efforts to create Kiswahili as a machine-recognizable language, have prepared a Kiswahili database that includes Kiswahili dialects as well, not just standard Kiswahili. This is a project that deserves support for its efforts to identify Kiswahili and Viswahili — even if machines will be taught this language, it is important to consider the presence of dialects and its speakers. Kiswahili, as the experts say, has its own depth.

en-us	This need for culturally grounded voice applications emerges from the existence of diverse ethnic communities in the continent coupled with relatively high uptake of information and communication technologies. Whilst the need exists, the process of filling in the gap requires dedication of skills and resources not extensively available to many people or entities on the continent. Having recognised the general lack of diverse datasets to train machine learning models especially for low resource languages, Mozilla through its Common Voice platform has created voice datasets of locally spoken languages such as Swahili and Kinyrwanda. Leveraging on the power of communities to collect these data, Mozilla hosts open voice datasets on its Common Voice platform that can be used to feed speech recognition software.
sw	Hitaji hili la matumizi ya sauti yenye msingi wa kitamaduni linatokana na kuwepo kwa jumuiya za makabila mbalimbali barani pamoja na utumiaji wa juu wa teknolojia ya habari na mawasiliano. Ingawa hitaji lipo, mchakato wa kujaza pengo unahitaji kujitolea kwa ujuzi na rasilimali ambazo hazipatikani kwa wingi na watu au taasisi nyingi barani. Baada ya kutambua ukosefu wa namna nyingi wa seti mbalimbali za data za kufundisha miundo ya mashine ya kujifunza hasa kwa lugha zenye rasilimali chache, Mozilla kupitia jukwaa lake la Common Voice imeunda seti za data za lugha zinazozungumzwa kikanda kama vile Kiswahili na Kinyarwanda. Kwa kutumia uwezo wa jumuiya kukusanya data hizi, Mozilla huweka seti za data za sauti huria kwenye mfumo wake wa Common Voice ambao unaweza kutumika kuhimili programu ya utambuzi wa matamshi.

The main function of this page is to receive donations that help translate the Common Voice Kiswahili website, 86% of this work has been done and continues to be done. The second phase is the contribution of sentences that will be used to teach the machine to understand Kiswahili. Already 9,000 sentences have been compiled and approved and published on the page commonvoice.mozilla.org/sw. These sentences are used in the third phase which is the collection and verification of voices that will be used to train computers to understand Kiswahili. The project is currently in its third phase which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

That's when I decided that issues of technology and gender are important to me and as a woman in this industry I have to try to impress many and let them know that technology is genderless. In 2016 working with fellow women who were working in various fields of science and technology we formed the TechChix group. We spent a lot of time encouraging women and girls not to be afraid of the science and technology industry. Our work became known and this enabled us as a group to win the “Queen of Power” award in 2018.

Hapo ndipo nilipoamua kuwa maswala ya teknolojia na jinsia ni muhimu kwangu na kama mwanamke katika sekta hii inanipasa kujaribu kuwavuta wengi na kuwajuza kuwa teknolojia haina jinsia. Mnamo mwaka 2016 nikishirikiana na wanawake wenzangu waliokuwa wakifanya kazi katika sekta mbalimbali za sayansi na teknolojia tulianzisha kikundi cha TechChix. Tulitumia muda mwingi kuhamasisha wanawake na wasichana kutoogopa sekta ya sayansi na teknolojia. Kazi zetu zilipata kujulikana na hili likatuwezesha kama kundi kushinda tuzo la “Queen of Power” mnamo mwaka 2018.

en-us	Through ICANNWiki I learned about translating professional words from English to Kiswahili and so I had the opportunity to be selected as ICANNWiki ambassador in their project to create a week of internet administration in Kiswahili. This embassy rekindled my love for and in my first language Kiswahili, it reminded me of my childhood where Kiswahili was the language spoken at home and in the community around me as in school, church and even in the market as a national language. It reminded me of a friend of mine who studied in a government primary school in Kiswahili and was unlucky to continue his studies so the only language he knew was Kiswahili. I did a lot of research and found that web pages are full of concepts and content in foreign languages ​​and not as native as Kiswahili. So my co-founder and I decided that each edition of this school would have the purpose of translating the teachings, telephone programs and so on into the Kiswahili language. So far we have been able to translate through this school and teach Tanzanian women the importance of having content or programs in indigenous languages ​​like Kiswahili especially in technology. Last year we were able to translate the online security guidelines for women developed by Internews and then last year we translated Psiphon into a program that helped many to access the internet in 2020 where Tanzania shut down the internet during the government elections.
sw	Kupitia shirika la ICANNWiki nilijifunza kuhusu kutafsiri maneno ya kitaalamu kutoka lugha ya kiingereza kwenda lugha ya kiswahili na hivyo nilipata fursa ya kuchaguliwa kuwa balozi wa shirika la ICANNWiki katika mradi wao wa kutengeneza wiki ya utawala wa mtandao kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Ubalozi huu uliamusha upendo niliokuwa nao kwa lugha yangu ya kwanza ya Kiswahili, ikanikumbusha utoto wangu ambapo lugha ya Kiswahili ndo ilikuwa lugha iliyozungumzwa nyumbani na katika jamii iliyonizunguka kama shuleni, kanisani na hata sokoni kama lugha ya taifa. Ilinifanya kumkumbuka rafiki yangu aliyesomea katika shule ya msingi ya serikali katika lugha ya Kiswahili na kukosa bahati ya kuendeleza masoma yake hivyo lugha pekee alioyoijua ilikuwa ni Kiswahili. Nikafanya utafiti mwingi na kuona kuwa katika kurasa za mtandao kumejaa dhana na maudhui katika lugha za kigeni na sio za asili kama Kiswahili. Hivyo mimi na mwanzilishi mwenzangu wa shule hii tuliamua kuwa kila toleo la shule hii lingekuwa na madhumuni ya kutafsiri mafundisho, programu za simu na mengineyo kuwa katika lugha ya Kiswahili. Mpaka sasa tumeweza kutafsiri kupitia shule hii na kuwafundisha wanawake wa Tanzania umuhimu wa kuwa na maudhui au programu zilizo katika lugha asili kama Kiswahili hasa katika teknolojia. Mwaka juzi tuliweza kutafsiri miongozo ya usalama wa mandaoni kwa wanawake iliyotengenezwa na shirika la Internews kisha mwaka jana tulitafsiri Psiphon programu iliyowasaidia wengi kupata mawasiliano ya intaneti mwaka 2020 ambapo nchi ya Tanzania ilizima intaneti kipindi cha uchaguzi wa serikali.

en-us	Through ICANNWiki I learned about translating professional words from English to Kiswahili and so I had the opportunity to be selected as ICANNWiki ambassador in their project to create a week of internet administration in Kiswahili. This embassy rekindled my love for and in my first language Kiswahili, it reminded me of my childhood where Kiswahili was the language spoken at home and in the community around me as in school, church and even in the market as a national language. It reminded me of a friend of mine who studied in a government primary school in Kiswahili and was unlucky to continue his studies so the only language he knew was Kiswahili. I did a lot of research and found that web pages are full of concepts and content in foreign languages ​​and not as native as Kiswahili. So my co-founder and I decided that each edition of this school would have the purpose of translating the teachings, telephone programs and so on into the Kiswahili language. So far we have been able to translate through this school and teach Tanzanian women the importance of having content or programs in indigenous languages ​​like Kiswahili especially in technology. Last year we were able to translate the online security guidelines for women developed by Internews and then last year we translated Psiphon into a program that helped many to access the internet in 2020 where Tanzania shut down the internet during the government elections.
sw	Kupitia shirika la ICANNWiki nilijifunza kuhusu kutafsiri maneno ya kitaalamu kutoka lugha ya kiingereza kwenda lugha ya kiswahili na hivyo nilipata fursa ya kuchaguliwa kuwa balozi wa shirika la ICANNWiki katika mradi wao wa kutengeneza wiki ya utawala wa mtandao kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Ubalozi huu uliamusha upendo niliokuwa nao kwa lugha yangu ya kwanza ya Kiswahili, ikanikumbusha utoto wangu ambapo lugha ya Kiswahili ndo ilikuwa lugha iliyozungumzwa nyumbani na katika jamii iliyonizunguka kama shuleni, kanisani na hata sokoni kama lugha ya taifa. Ilinifanya kumkumbuka rafiki yangu aliyesomea katika shule ya msingi ya serikali katika lugha ya Kiswahili na kukosa bahati ya kuendeleza masoma yake hivyo lugha pekee alioyoijua ilikuwa ni Kiswahili. Nikafanya utafiti mwingi na kuona kuwa katika kurasa za mtandao kumejaa dhana na maudhui katika lugha za kigeni na sio za asili kama Kiswahili. Hivyo mimi na mwanzilishi mwenzangu wa shule hii tuliamua kuwa kila toleo la shule hii lingekuwa na madhumuni ya kutafsiri mafundisho, programu za simu na mengineyo kuwa katika lugha ya Kiswahili. Mpaka sasa tumeweza kutafsiri kupitia shule hii na kuwafundisha wanawake wa Tanzania umuhimu wa kuwa na maudhui au programu zilizo katika lugha asili kama Kiswahili hasa katika teknolojia.

en-us	Up to now advancements in technology have attracted the attention of human rights advocates due to the close nexus between technology development and the impact on human rights. For voice technologies, the right to privacy has been one such right. The imperative to protect the right to privacy in voice technologies emanates from the fact that voice data is categorized as biometric data that can uniquely identify a person under the data protection laws of various countries. More specifically, it is viewed as sensitive personal information.
sw	Hadi sasa maendeleo ya teknolojia yamevutia umakini wa watetezi wa haki za binadamu kutokana na uhusiano wa karibu kati ya maendeleo ya teknolojia na athari kwa haki za binadamu. Kwa teknolojia ya sauti, haki ya faragha imekuwa mojawapo ya haki hizo. Sharti la kulinda haki ya faragha katika teknolojia ya sauti linatokana na sababu kwamba data ya sauti imeainishwa kama data ya kibayometriki ambayo inaweza kumtambulisha mtu kwa njia ya kipekee chini ya sheria za ulinzi wa data za nchi mbalimbali. Hasa zaidi, inatazamwa kama taarifa nyeti ya kibinafsi.

en-us	Voice technology is increasingly the gateway to the internet — but this technology doesn’t serve everyone equally. Indeed, neither Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, nor Google Home support a single native African language. This means that millions of people who speak Kiswahili and other African languages can’t use voice technology to do something as simple as checking the weather — or something as important as checking for COVID updates.
sw	Teknolojia ya sauti inazidi kuwa lango la intaneti - lakini teknolojia hii haitumikii kila mtu kwa usawa. Hakika, Alexa ya Amazon, Siri ya Apple, na Google Home hazihimili hata lugha moja ya asili ya Kiafrika. Hii ina maana kwamba mamilioni ya watu wanaozungumza Kiswahili na lugha nyingine za Kiafrika hawawezi kutumia teknolojia ya sauti kufanya jambo rahisi kama kuangalia hali ya hewa - au jambo muhimu kama kuangalia masasisho ya COVID.

Literary paper in particular was the one that inspired me the most. Eventually I passed that level of study and joined the university. I have given you my personal description of Kiswahili because although this language is said to have between fifty and one hundred and fifty million speakers, most of us are more proficient in foreign languages, as they are the ones used and considered when we enter university and work environment.
sw	Nilipofika shule ya upili, Kiswahili kilikuwa somo nililong’ang’ana nalo sana. Haikosi ni kwa sababu ya hali ile ya kutozungumza na kutoitumia lugha hii nje ya darasa.

en-us	When I joined the university, I studied Mathematics and Computer Science. At first, I was more satisfied with my computer science studies than math, since my mathematics required me to work harder, more difficult for me. In my graduation year, I started looking for a professional field where I could do my final year project. It was important for me that this project involved Computer Science to the same extent as Mathematics, as I felt that I was too busy with maths lessons not to use them. This is how I discovered Data Science and began to be curious to know more about this professional field. To succeed in my project, I decided to do a series of computer-controlled courses on websites designed for this job like EdX (Edx.org) and Coursera (Coursera.org).

Katika mwaka wangu wa kuhitimu masomo, nilianza kutafuta uwanja wa kitaaluma ambapo ningefanya mradi wa mwaka wa mwisho.

Kufaulu katika mradi wangu, niliamua kufanya mfulizo wa masomo kadhaa yaliyodhibitiwa na kompyuta kwenye tovuti yaliyoandaliwa kwa kazi hii kama EdX(Edx.org) na Coursera(Coursera.org). Masomo haya yalikuwa ya bure na yaliniridhisha sana hadi nikaamua kwamba, baada ya kuhitimu masomo yangu, nilitaka kutafuta kazi kama Mwanasayansi wa Data.
