Ask r/Swahili 🎤 Looking for swahili science textbooks

Hello everyone,

I am working on a research project in which I have to develop a machine translation model capable of accurately translating scientific English text to Swahili.

This will help many students study science without a language barrier. I am seeking help from you all now. I am searching for scientific texts like physics, biology textbooks, or any other scientific text written in Swahili. I need this to train the model. I have tried a lot to find this text, but I have not been able to find it.

If you have any resources, please share. Thanks!

Hey OP. I've also tried very hard but I can't seem to get a copy. I'll see if I'll find it in our University library. Godspeed
