http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/08/google-translate-african-languages-2013-08-27-01-1377605321.jpg Google Africa is asking volunteers to judge the quality of beta translations for African languages Hausa, Igbo, Somali, Yoruba and Zulu. That means it’s likely only a matter of time before they’re added to the 71 current Google Translate lingos. Users on a Google+ page who speak one of the languages were asked to rate the translation of passages to and from English on a scale of ‘poor’ to ‘excellent.’ While it still seems a bit buggy, it looks to be a great start – though users in isolated areas might need to wait for Facebook’s internet.org initiative.
