The first line says "Lela na hasani ni marafiki." Since hasani isn't capitalized, it does not look like a name, and the rollover translates it as "in particular." This make the first line total nonsense. The name Hasani needs to be capitalized.

It's not one of ours, but I fixed it since it was an easy one.

In the Philippines now.

Another question: In the last sentence, what does the word "sisi" do? It seems like the sentence would make perfect sense without it, and "sisi" just confuses things.

I agree that it's superfluous, but I'm not sure if it's grammatically incorrect. Notice that they say things like "Sisi tunatoka..." too. I'm sure this is grammatically correct, but sisi is not needed and usually dropped in colloquial speech.
