Google recently added Yoruba, Igbo (Ibo) and Hausa to its
online language translating services, I took it for a quick spin and here are
my thoughts.

| Google Translate, English to Yoruba - Good Morning |
It seem to be an early attempt as the translations are hit
and miss it terms of accuracy, also the speech option – which would say aloud
the translated word or phrase in the language it was translated to was unavailable.
At this stage I wouldn’t recommend using if for any serious work
that required translation into Yoruba, Igbo (Ibo) or Hausa, but it does make a
good novelty or gesture to the Nigerian demographic.
Google is also looking for volunteers to help improve the
quality of its translator service. It is also available on android powered
devices through the Google Translate app form Google Play.
So why don't you guys give it a spin and let us know how you feel?
