# Swahili-English Translation Model for Child Helpline Services
## Model Description
This model is a fine-tuned version of `Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-mul-en` for Swahili-to-English translation, specifically optimized for child helpline call transcriptions in East Africa.
**Developed by:** BITZ IT Consulting Ltd
**Project:** OpenCHS (Open Child Helpline System)
**Funded by:** UNICEF Venture Fund
**License:** Apache 2.0
## Performance
### Test Set (General Translation)
- **BLEU:** 0.2272
- **chrF:** 42.25
- **Improvement over baseline:** +0.0%
### Domain Evaluation (Call Transcriptions)
- **Domain BLEU:** 0.0000
- **Domain chrF:** 2.90
- **Domain COMET-QE:** 0.0000
## Intended Use
**Primary Use Case:** Translating Swahili helpline call transcriptions to English for case documentation, quality assurance, and cross-border referrals.
**Languages:** Swahili (source) → English (target)
## Usage
```python
from transformers import MarianTokenizer, MarianMTModel
model_name = "brendaogutu/sw-en-translation-v1"
tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained(model_name)
swahili_text = "Habari za asubuhi. Ninaitwa Amina na nina miaka 14."
inputs = tokenizer(swahili_text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, num_beams=5, max_length=256)
translation = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(translation)
```
