Over the weekend I embarked on a mission to develop an API called N2L(Numbers to Luganda) that converts numbers/digits to Luganda, the most spoken indigenous language in my Home country Uganda.

It wasn't easy as the Luganda language has some twists and turns in the dialect but after a few non-stop hours of coding and short breaks of coffee and stretching, I successfully was able to write up code to translate numbers from 0 to 1,000,000,000.

I used Python | Django | DRF to create the API. Below is an example of the API at work.

N2L at work!

In order to use the API, one has to send a GET request to the URL endpoint https://n2l.herokuapp.com/convert/{number} where number is the number that is to be translated to Luganda.

The API can be found on RapidAPI.

Thanks!
