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. 

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 dont you guys give it a spin and let us know how you feel?
