Swahili Translation options

Aside from the great living dictionary the Kamusi Project offers Google Translate has opened up its doors for Swahili translation.
It will still take some time before the Google tool, will be flawless as they usually start feeding the tool with official United Nations Documents. In time though the translations will get more accurate.
Head to translate.google.com and try for yourself. Additionally we will start working on implementing it right on our site.

This is a song my little daughter learned from a movie, about three years ago, and she still sings it at bedtime sometimes, she uses it as a lullaby for her dolls, She’s only five yr old, but has a very good memory, and retention skills.
The sound of it is very calming and relaxing for her, that she insists that I sing fo her sometimes, But what bothers me is the fact that I don’t know what we are singing. I’m clueless about the meaning of this words:
” Imba wimbo wa upepo
wakati unajiwa na
Imba wimbo wa upepo
wakati ndoto tamuLala mpaka usiku uisheni
upepu wa usiku wimbo wakona
Wimbu Wangu Unendelea
Imba wimbo wa upepo
wakati unajiwa na
Imba wimbo wa upepo
wakati ndoto tamuLala mpaka usiku uisheni
upepu wa usiku wimbo wakonaUpepu wa usiku wimbo wakona
Unaendelea milele”
Can anybody help?
Thanks, I’ ts from the movie Mighty Joe Young, indeed.
For those who wonder, here’ s the song:

And here’ s Charlize Theron (the movie star) singing it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGZG4k5dFeI&feature=related
Still my personal favorite is the one with the African Choir.
It’s called Windsong 
Sing a song
And for a moment
You will be visited by the wind
Sing a song
And for a moment
Dream sweetly of the wind
Sleep now until the night is dawn
The wind and the night song, they are there
However the song, my child, will go on forever.
Bye

‘Unity through education’
‘World Peace through education’
‘Opportunity’if you know any african phrases (english or swahili) similar to these topics, that would be great as well. please no online dictionary translations.

Opportunity= nafasi
Unity through education= Umoja kutipia elimu
World peace through education= Amani ya duniani kutipia elimu.

What does Tahira mean in swahili? I know it means "purity and chastity" in Arabic?
November 1, 2008 by Admin · 1 Comment
My ex reckons its means mentally deficient in his language but I cant find evidence of this in any translation dictionary of English/Swahili, perhaps its slang from Zanzibar, can anyone please help me out to clarify this??
Swahili has a lot of arabic words in the language.
So Tahira means the same in Swahili, as in arabic.

I have a kitenge with the Swahili words "Palipo na upendo mungu huletaheri". Can anyone give me a translation
October 26, 2008 by Admin · 3 Comments
I could not find "huletaheri" in any dictionaries, but what I could translate would read:
"Where there is love, fate/destiny [huletaheri]
Palipo – where there is…
upendo – love/affection
mungu – fate/destiny/god
huletaheri must be a verb….
This sounds like it could be a proverb or popular saying.
