    Abstract

    In this article, we propose a machine translation Web Service and Platform for Wolof, a low-resource Niger-Congolese language. We first developed a Transformer model, and different configurations adapted to these models to translate between Wolof and French. We trained the model on a very limited amount of French-Wolof parallel data of approximately 85,000 parallel sentences. The best model was able to achieve a good performance of around 28 BLUE score. We then developed a web platform that allows text to be translated between French and Wolof, but also a RestFull Web Service that will allow other applications to benefit from the translation service.
