Kule mihla yezobuchwepheshe kunye nokwanda kwehlabathi lonke, uguqulelo lweelwimi luyinto ebaluleke kakhulu ekudibaniseni abantu beentlanga neenkcubeko ezahlukeneyo. Phakathi kweelwimi ezinomdla kakhulu ekuguquleleni zezi zimbini: isiXhosa, ulwimi oluthethwa kakhulu eMzantsi Afrika olunenkqubo enzulu yezimilo nezimelalizwi (noun classes), kunye nesiCebuano (okanye i-Binisaya), ulwimi oluthethwa kakhulu kwii-Visayas nakwi-Mindanao e-Philippines. Ukuguqulela phakathi kwezi lwimi zimbini akukho lula ngenxa yomahluko omkhulu wokwakheka kolwimi kunye nenkcubeko. Esi sikhokelo siza kutyhila iinkalo ezibalulekileyo, imingeni, kunye neengcebiso zokwenza olu guqulelo lube yimpumelelo.
Uhlalutyo Lomahluko Wokwakheka Kweelwimi (Linguistic Structural Analysis)
Xa uqala inkqubo yokuguqulela kwi-isiXhosa ukuya kwi-Cebuano, into yokuqala ekufuneka uyiqonde kakuhle ngumahluko kulwakhiwo lwezivakalisi. IsiXhosa silandela inkqubo ye-SVO (Subject-Verb-Object). Oku kuthetha ukuba isivakalisi siqala ngomenzi (subject), silandelwe sisenzi (verb), size sigqityelwe ngomenziwa (object). Umzekelo: "Umfana ulesa incwadi." (Umfana = Subject, ulesa = Verb, incwadi = Object).
Kwelinye icala, isiCebuano silandela inkqubo ye-VSO (Verb-Subject-Object) okanye i-VOS (Verb-Object-Subject). Oku kuthetha ukuba izenzi zihlala ziza kuqala esivakalisini. Umzekelo, isivakalisi esithi "Umfana ulesa incwadi" singaguqulelwa kwi-Cebuano ngokuthi: "Nagbasa ang lalaki ug libro" okanye "Nagbasa ug libro ang lalaki" (Nagbasa = ulesa/verb, ang lalaki = umfana/subject, ug libro = incwadi/object). Umguquleli kufuneka aqonde ukuba ukuguqulela ngqo kwegama negama (word-for-word translation) kuzakubangela isivakalisi esingaqondakaliyo kwisiCebuano ngenxa yolu lwakhiwo lwahlukileyo.
Izimilo Zesibizo Kunye Nenkqubo Egxininisiweyo (Noun Classes and Focus System)
IsiXhosa saziwa kakhulu ngenkqubo yaso yezimilo zesibizo (noun classes), apho izibizo zohlulwe ngamaqela ahlukeneyo alawula izimelalizwi (concords) kwisivakalisi sonke. Ezi zimilo zichaza ukuba isenzi, isichazi, kunye nezimelabizo ziza kuqala njani. Xa kuguqulelwa kwisiCebuano, le nkqubo yezimilo ayikho ngendlela efanayo. IsiCebuano sisebenzisa inkqubo ebizwa ngokuba yi-Austronesian Alignment okanye i-Focus System.
Kule nkqubo yesiCebuano, isenzi sitshintsha izimaphambili nezimamva (affixes) ukubonisa ukuba yeyiphi inxalenye yesivakalisi egxininisiweyo—ingaba ngumenzi (Actor Focus), umenziwa (Object Focus), indawo (Locative Focus), okanye isixhobo (Instrumental Focus). Amagama afana nelithi "ang", "sa", kunye nelithi "ug" asetyenziswa ukubonisa indima yesibizo esivakalisini. Umguquleli kufuneka afunde le nkqubo yama-focus markers kwisiCebuano ukuze akwazi ukugqithisa intsingiselo echanekileyo evela kwisiXhosa, ngakumbi xa kukho izenzi ezikwisimo esinziphambili okanye esiphikisayo.
Uhlalutyo Olunzulu Lwezenzi Kunye Namaxesha (Verbs and Tenses)
IsiXhosa sisebenzisa inkqubo enolwazi olunzulu malunga namaxesha (tenses) kunye nezenzo ezongeziweyo (verbal extensions) ezifana nesimo sokwenzela (-ela), isimo sokwenzeka (-eka), isimo sokwenzisa (-isa), kunye nesimo sokwenziwa (-iwa). Le nkqubo yenza ukuba isenzi sesiXhosa sibe namacandelo amaninzi ahlukeneyo achaza ixesha, umenzi, umenziwa, kunye nemood yesivakalisi. Kwicala lesiCebuano, amaxesha nawo abandakanya isimo esadlulayo (past), esikhoyo (present), kunye nesizayo (future), kodwa ezi zinto ziboniswa ngokusetyenziswa kwe-aspect kunye nee-affixes ezingafaniyo ncam nezesiXhosa.
Umzekelo, kwisiXhosa xa sithi "ndabhalelwa", sitshela ukuba isenzo senziwe ixesha elidlulileyo, kwaye sisebenzisa isimo sokwenziwa nesokwenzela. KwisiCebuano, oku kufuna umguquleli asebenzise isalathisi sexesha eladlulayo esihambelana ne-focus marker yomenziwa okanye umamkeli (beneficiary focus). Ukungaqondi olu guquguquko lwezenzi kunokubangela ukuba umyalezo ulahlekelwe yile nuances ibalulekileyo. Umguquleli kufuneka ahlale eqaphele le mimiselo kwaye aqinisekise ukuba amaxesha wezenzo ayavumelana kuyo yomibini le mibhalo.
Imingeni Yenkcubeko Nemizekelo Engqo (Cultural Nuances and Idiomatic Expressions)
Uguqulelo alufuni kuphela ukwazi igramatika, kodwa lufuna nokwazi inkcubeko. IsiXhosa lugcwele izaci namaqhalo anenkcazelo enzulu esekelwe kwindlela yokuphila yamaXhosa, imbali yabo, kunye nobudlelwane babo nendalo. Umzekelo, ibinzana elithi "ukutyela ecaleni" linethetha intsingiselo eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo xa lithathwa ngokoqobo. Kanti ke, isiCebuano naso sinezaci zaso ezisekelwe kwindlela yokuphila yase-Philippines, ingakumbi ezinxulumene nolwandle, ukuloba, kunye nentlalo yoluntu.
Xa umguquleli edibana nezi zaci, akufuneki aziguqulele ngokoqobo. Kunoko, kufuneka afune ibinzana elinentsingiselo efanayo kwisiCebuano (functional equivalence). Ukuba alikho, kufuneka acacise loo ngcamango ngokesebenzisa amagama alula anokuqondwa ngumlesi wase-Cebuano ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa ngumongo webali okanye womyalezo wokuqala.
Ukukhethwa Kwamagama Alungileyo Kunye Nenkcazelo (Terminology and Localization)
Enye yezona zinto zinzima ekuguquleleni kwi-isiXhosa ukuya kwi-Cebuano kukuba ezi lwimi zombini zivela kwiindawo ezahlukene kakhulu ngokwejografi nangokwembali. IsiXhosa sinamagama atyebileyo achaza izinto ezifana nemfuyo, ezolimo zangaphakathi elizweni, kunye nendlela yokuphila yasezilalini eMzantsi Afrika. Kwelinye icala, isiCebuano, esivela kwi-archipelago yase-Philippines, sinamagama amaninzi aneenkcukacha ezithe ngqo malunga nokuloba, iindidi zeentlanzi, amaza olwandle, kunye neenkalo zezityalo ezishushu zotroviki.
Xa uguqulela umbhalo obalaseleyo ngomoya wasebhantshini (Bantu environment) uya kwintlalo yase-Austronesian, kufuneka ukwenziwa kwe-localization. Leli nyathelo lifuna ukuba umguquleli angajongi nje isichazi-magama kuphela, kodwa ahlolisise ukuba umfundi wesiCebuano uya kuyiqonda na loo ngcamango. Ukuba ubhala ngento engadumanga e-Philippines, njengamasiko afana no-"Ulwaluko" okanye ukubaluleka kwe-"Lobola" kwinkcubeko yamaXhosa, umguquleli kufuneka asebenzise iinkcazo ezongezelelweyo (translator's notes okanye descriptive translation) ukuze umbhalo oguqulelweyo ungapheli amandla kunye nexabiso lawo lenkcubeko.
Iingcebiso Ezingundoqo Zoguqulelo Olusebenzayo
- Qonda Umongo Wombhalo (Understand the Context): Phambi kokuba uqale ukuguqulela, funda umbhalo wonke we-isiXhosa ukuze uqonde umoya kunye nenjongo yawo. Sukuguqulela izivakalisi ezizimeleyo ngaphandle kokujonga indlela ezidibana ngayo.
- Sebenzisa Isichazi-magama Seelwimi Ezininzi (Bilingual Resources): Kuba kunqabile ukufumana isichazi-magama esisuka ngqo kwi-isiXhosa ukuya kwisiCebuano, unokusebenzisa isiNgesi njengolwimi lwasekhaya lwesibini (bridge language). Lungelelanisa iintsingiselo ngokujonga isichazi-magama sesiXhosa-nesiNgesi nesiNgesi-nesiCebuano.
- Hlonipha Amagama Abolekiweyo (Loanwords): IsiCebuano sinesixa esikhulu samagama abolekiweyo kwi-Spanish nesiNgesi ngenxa yembali yokukoloniywa kwe-Philippines. Kwelinye icala, isiXhosa sinamagama abolekiweyo kwi-Afrikaans nesiNgesi. Xa uguqulela, qinisekisa ukuba ukhetha igama elamkelekileyo nelisetyenziswa kakhulu ngabathethi beCebuano mihla le.
- Funda Usetyenziso Lwamazwi Asondeleyo (Register and Tone): Qinisekisa ukuba ithoni yombhalo wokuqala (ingaba isesikweni okanye ayikho sikweni) iyagcinwa kumbhalo oguqulelweyo.
Ukubaluleka Kokuhlela Kunye Nokuqinisekiswa KwesiCebuano
Emva kokugqiba uguqulelo lokuqala, inyathelo elilandelayo nelibaluleke kakhulu kukuhlela (editing) kunye nokufunda ngokutsha (proofreading). Oku kufuneka kwenziwe ngumntu oluthetha kakuhle isiCebuano njengolwimi lwakhe lwenkobe (native speaker). Oku kuqinisekisa ukuba umbhalo uvakala ufanelekile kwaye uhamba kakuhle (natural flow). Uguqulelo olunolwakhiwo oluchanekileyo lwezemalizwi kodwa olungavakaliyo njengento ethethwayo lusenokungaphumeleli ukufikelela kwinjongo yalo.
Ukongeza, ukusetyenziswa kwesoftware zoguqulelo (CAT Tools) kunokunceda ukugcina ukungaguquguquki kwamagama (terminology consistency), kodwa akufuneki kuthenjelwe kuzo ngokupheleleyo. Ubuchule bomntu bentlalontle nenkcubeko busasele buyeyona nto iphambili ekuqinisekiseni ukuba uguqulelo lusuka kwi-isiXhosa ukuya kwi-Cebuano luyimpumelelo kwaye lunempembelelo efanelekileyo.
