This page is a resource for machine translation between Wamesa and Tongan.

There is still one bug that we are trying to fix. siʻaku is being translated to #<poss>, but it should translate to nothing as there is no equivalent in Wamesa. The percentages above are when the incorrect #<poss> is taken out of the ton-wad.tests.txt file. Otherwise, the percentage increases to 114.29%.
