Abstract
English compounds are normally composed of two or more consecutive words. It is also possible to form compounds using dash as a connector between words. Such constructions are difficult to handle, because they are not in the lexicon, and their interpretation must be carried out using heuristic guessing. However, it is possible to handle the members of the compound separately, and guessing can be avoided. In the Technical Report No. 57 I discussed the problem in English to Finnish machine translation. In this report I will discuss it from the viewpoint of English to Swahili machine translation. Although the basic approach in both is the same, the implementation is language-specific
