WhatsApp translator for the Marshall Islands
Marshallese is the language of home, English that of school and official papers, so a WhatsApp translator in the Marshall Islands lets both sides of a family chat understand each other. This page is for people on Majuro and the outer atolls, and for their relatives abroad.
Yokwe, hello and goodbye
"Yokwe" works as hello, goodbye and a warm word between friends. Open with it and your message will be well received.
Atolls and the US mainland
Families are split between the atolls and places such as Hawaii and Arkansas. Group threads run across long gaps in time. oKiKo can translate the English of an official letter forwarded in a chat, with a reminder to confirm important details.
