Translation Challenges: English ↔ Vietnamese
Every language pair has unique challenges. Here's what makes English-Vietnamese translation complex, and how LiveLingo handles each one:
Tone generation
The AI produces Vietnamese with correct tonal marks in text, and TTS generates proper tonal pronunciation.
Formal address
Vietnamese has an elaborate pronoun system based on age and relationship. The AI defaults to polite forms (anh/chị for 'you').
No plurals or articles
Vietnamese doesn't use 'the', 'a', or plural forms. The AI removes these naturally.
