Swahili captions for your short clips
Swahili is a shared language across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and much of East Africa, and its creator scene is growing quickly on TikTok and YouTube. Swahili captions help comedy, music, faith and business content travel across borders in one language.
What Swahili captions look like
Example caption lines in Latin script, as they would sit on a clip.

What good Swahili captions get right
- ✓Swahili builds long words from prefixes and suffixes, so lines break between words only.
- ✓Sheng and English mixed into Kenyan and Tanzanian speech are transcribed as spoken.
- ✓Names of people and places are learned from your video title and description.
