I am an albanian and I think you have done a good job, but really, some words are a dialect of Kosovo not all of them but many. Some words many Albanians wouldn't understand like: 'tutem (frikësohem), çel derën (hap derën), ama pjatën (ma jep pjatën) etc. I was 2 years in Kosovo though and it is funny to see these words again... LOL
Very detailed translater. This app is based on the Kosovo Albanian dialect. This will be comprehending to any fluent Albanian speaker.
