WHich languages can you help them with? |
Re: Google in Yoruba by obong(m): 2:47pm On Aug 25, 2005 |
any langauge you are fluent in. You just sign up and start translating. But they have to first include your language. these are the lnaguages available http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en |

Re: Google in Yoruba by kodewrita(m): 4:25pm On Aug 25, 2005 |
someone here claimed its not useful since most of the Yorubas with access to the net can speak English as well. Obviously you have not been browsing regularly in cafes in nigeria otherwise you would have met many clueless people. of course its not perfect, i searched for the keyword yoruba and the results were in english though the google messages and the button names were in yoruba, but its a good start. As to whether Hausa would have been better, thats subjective. If you grew up in a household where Yoruba was the mode of communication that would not have been a problem. Chinese is similar to yoruba because it is also a tonal language. that doesn't mean we should stop speaking it because we spent eighteen years in school. |

We keep f*cking up! Nigeria's not on that list!! |
Re: Google in Yoruba by hotangel2(f): 4:36pm On Aug 25, 2005 |
Gosh i wanted to say the same. The Nigerian Flag is not on the list! |
Re: Google in Yoruba by obong(m): 4:45pm On Aug 25, 2005 |
Im sure its easy to get us on that list. no one is paying attention to it though |
Re: Google in Yoruba by joftech(m): 8:45pm On Aug 25, 2005 |
Obviously you have not been browsing regularly in cafes in nigeria otherwise you would have met many clueless people it would have been a good thingy if search result pages are in Yoruba as well, then maybe i will be able to take that home to my grandma. |

Abeg enough of this google no suppose use Yoruba, na Hausa dem suppose use....it's crazy! Anything google use, we should be proud that at least dem recognize one of our local languages. Let's hope we go soon get www.yahoo.ng ( yahoo nigeria). If anybody no like wetin google do, make he go sue them for court. We don start again? Bad belle, na that no let Nigeria develop. Abeg make we carry go for google in yoruba |
Re: Google in Yoruba by obong(m): 2:49pm On Aug 29, 2005 |
i dont think anyoen feels it should not be yoruba. someone was just pointing out that hausa has more reach. either way its good |
Re: Google in Yoruba by kazey(m): 12:09pm On Aug 30, 2005 |
Hmm just the interface? This search results are not in yoruba. yahoo.ng Yahoo hasnt even gone to South Africa |
Re: Google in Yoruba by akinwunmi(m): 6:57pm On Sep 02, 2005 |
We need it, afterall Google has an Arabic version? But I don't see peope using it. Or you want to ask your grandma to browse the net for you? Because that age group - and people from the village - are those that still read news in the Yoruba language. But to me, it's the best thing that will ever happen to the Yoruba folks and the whole of Nigeria. Ride free, my people. |
Re: Google in Yoruba by fataiiyo(m): 6:06pm On Sep 10, 2005 |
So great to hear this! Hey, this shows that my people Nigeria have started to develop! |
Re: Google in Yoruba by deduice: 2:43pm On Nov 13, 2005 |
Hey Guys, I think this is a good development for we guys in Nigeria, we all should try as much as we can to help google in achieving these goal. As for me, I'm going to help them in both Language, because I can speak both language fluently. This is the time to show the stuff you are made for. Deduice. Naija 4 Life. |

It's really cool. The translators will be doing a great job out there. Hot-angel, my language is not 'igbira' but Ebira(meaning good custom). I wonder why most people spell or pronounce it as 'igbira' it is 'Ebira' |
Re: Google in Yoruba by dafman(m): 2:04pm On Jan 10, 2006 |
you would need a Ph.d in yoruba to be able to read the search results |

I know I am young so i am still dumb, but if its google in yoruba how come the search results come back in english ? I was just wondering , but please somebody answer my question, |
Re: Google in Yoruba by joftech(m): 2:09am On Mar 12, 2006 |
I know I am young so i am still dumb, but if its google in yoruba how come the search results come back in english Huh? I was just wondering , but please Cry somebody answer my question, Embarrassed Embarrassed Embarrassed The reason why the results come back in English and some other languages is because those pages are not created in Yoruba, and it's nearly impossible for all content (websites) to have all the languages of the world. Basically what's Yoruba is the Google interface (website), not the real results. But you can help Google in converting contents of other pages to Yoruba if you can volunteer. |
