Google adds Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa to its Google Translate

Google search
engine has
added the 3
major Nigerian
languages,
Igbo, Hausa
and Yoruba to
its Google
Translate.
Google
Translate is a
free automatic
language translation service by Google.
The languages were among the nine new
languages, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa and
from Asia, that were added. Both the web service
and the Android app have been updated.
Other languages added were South African Zulu,
Mongolian, Nepali, Punjabi, Maori, and Somali. The
platform now contains 80 languages.
"Whether you're trekking to a new place or simply
trying to communicate with someone who doesn't
share a language with you, Google Translate can
help you connect to new information and people,"
Goggle said.
"Great to see Google have added five more African
languages," one user said.
Another wrote: "The fact that they have Igbo and
Yoruba on Google Translate now just shows how
much Nigerians are getting up there. I'm proud."
Google is also asking for volunteers to sign up to
the Translate service to help improve its quality
and expand the number of languages the system
supports.
