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:
  http://www.aakkl.helsinki.fi/cameel/corpus/intro.htm

- 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

If Arabic counts, there's much work in the US on Arabic these days.

Thanks. It does, but info on Arabic could easily overwhelm a page like that.
Is there a (meta-)page(s) with links to MT projects on Arabic? More ideal to
add such a link.
