Localising Technical Hydroponics Concepts for Otjisa: A Software-Enabled Descriptive Translation Approach

This research develops an AI-driven translation-support tool that uses low-resource neural machine translation and descriptive equivalence to present technical hydroponics concepts in Otjiherero, using the Indigenous Knowledge of the Ovahimba community in Otjisa. It will be co-designed with the Ovahimba community to turn complex terms into clear, culturally relevant language, making hydroponics easier to understand and apply.
