Back in the days the 7 o'clock news was read in pidgin on nta 10 lagos. Then many radio programs were broadcast in pidgin. Fast forward to a few years back and we have a wazobia fm purely in nigerian local languages and the nigerian pidgin. It was an instant blasted success. Now google gives websites in pidgin a voice long before their creation. In todays world of business, communication is the key, not language. Pidgin has more spread than any nigerian language. In fact any company that values customers shoul have pidgin english speakers. Eg banks Ask mtn online help service etc. Most commodities advert are in pidgin. My friend whose been abroad for more than 11 years admits she misses our pidgin english. In the global nigerian consciousness pidgin english is the paramount communication tool and i think google wants to tap into that.

Nice one from google

Pidgin English in Brazil and Portugal?  I've been to Brazil 3 times and I can swear by my ancestors the only language I heard was Portuguese o! Brasileiros nao falar ingles, nao!

The pigeon in Brazil is similar to portugese and not ensligh, so there's no way you'll know it's been spoken. Except of course you understand portugese.

Google's Pidgin is very poor though. They need to improve, and fast too.
