FAQ

How does Yoruba tone affect translation accuracy?
Yoruba is a tonal language where the same word can mean different things depending on tone. Written Yoruba with diacritics (tone marks) gives the most accurate results; without diacritics, context is used to determine meaning.

How accurate is Yoruba to English translation?
Very accurate for standard written Yoruba. Heavy slang and Yoruba-Pidgin code-switching may need occasional clarification.

How does this compare to Google Translate for Yoruba?
Google Translate supports Yoruba but often misses proverb meanings and tonal nuance. This translator provides culturally aware, context-rich English output.
