Frequently Asked Questions
How many African languages does AfricanGPT support?
AfricanGPT currently supports 22 African languages, plus English and French. Coverage and quality vary by language, data availability, and community contribution. The list is growing as more data and community support become available.
What do the status labels mean?
Available means the language works across most features. Beta means it is functional but still improving. Experimental means limited support based on available data. Planned means support is under development.
Why does feature support vary between languages?
African languages have different amounts of training data, NLP resources, and research investment. Languages with more data (like Swahili, Yoruba, and Hausa) tend to have broader feature support. AfricanGPT is working to improve coverage for all languages on the list.
Can I contribute to improving a language?
Yes. AfricanGPT has a community contribution model. You can help by contributing voice recordings, translations, sentence corrections, or corpus data through the Community page.
Why is my language listed as Experimental?
Some languages have limited training data or NLP resources. AfricanGPT is continuously improving coverage. Community contributions and new datasets help accelerate progress for low-resource languages.
Does AfricanGPT translate between two African languages?
AfricanGPT primarily supports translation between African languages and English or French. Direct translation between two African languages may work for some language pairs but is not guaranteed for all combinations.
