Yes, there is a google in yoruba. There's also an on-going effort to translate more google services to Hausa and Yoruba. Unfortunately, Igbo is not being recognizd as a major Nigerian language yet.

when most igbo youth s don't even know how to speak the language, we are talking of reading it.lets actually stick to the presidency issue for now. or rather sensitizing our less literate brothers who are giving us a bad image

nilla:

saw the google in yoruba site and i am sorry to say as at now its useless. if you search for anything it comes out in english. i expected the pages to be converted to yoruba

and is there anyone in Nigeria that can use a computer/internet without being able to speak English?

how many indigenous Yoruba graduates can read the language?

You people are so naive and anxious to the purpose of things in life. That Igbo language is not included in the google phonetic library does not mean that Igbo language is not recognized.

In fact if any Nigeria tribe that should be recognized in the USA is the Igbos. To be more specific if any Nigeria man that should be recognized in diaspora, are the Igbos. We started travelling and doing business before any other tribes in Nigeria. Apart from London, where else would you find a Yoruba person?

The Yoruba's was given grants and visa to travel and study, while we the Igbos were given less attention regarding travelling and education grants. If you look at this link you will see when we actually start travelling and some of us started reading and studying Mathematics.

Like Dr Chike Obi and others who pioneered the periodic solutions of non-linear ordinary differential equations and other related periodic solutions. To create a common and simple characterset for Igbo language would not be any difficult thing. If I saw any need towards Igbo language I will develop the library and pass it to google.

It is dead easy to develop. I wonder the significant Yoruba goggle thing has been since its introduction. We youth are loosing our tribal language when we are forced to learn English Language to infinity.

I personally do not see any relevance to googling either in Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. I have never seen any job that you must speak and write Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. It is just a personal thing.

If you are interested in developing characterset for you language, all you need to do is decided how many bits you would need to hold a character in the memory. I would recommend at least 16bits.

Correlate your bits with ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) for compatability that is it. What is so difficult in it? Google in Yoruba my foot. No disrespect to the people of Yoruba.
