Professor Arvi Hurskainen at University of Helsinki has conducted 
a lot of research on language technology for Bantu languages
and especially Swahili. Here are some links related to that research:

- Helsinki Corpus of Swahili:

- SALAMA - Swahili Language Manager
  http://www.njas.helsinki.fi/salama/
  (includes a project on Swahili-to-English Machine Translation)

- PhD thesis by Wanjiku Ng'ang'a:
  Word Sense Disambiguation of Swahili
