Re-evaluating Yorùbá language translation on Busy.org
# Introduction
________
______
#### Utopian.io is a platform that enables users to have a say in Open Source projects. An example is Busy.org. [[Source]](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@elear/contribute-to-busy-org-and-get-double-rewards)

<center>![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZHmCFWkjKSFtDBNGWEtQQKMaiPApbfvPHuRNPyY8jS8M/image.png)</center>
New version of Busy is in Private Beta and need testers!
https://steemit.com/busy/@busy.org/busy-org-new-design-call-for-private-beta-testers

______________
________________
### I am posting this article from Utopian.io

**The development of a website like busy.org is a good initiative so far. Taking it further, they are accommodating* lots of languages* from different parts of the world.

**The call for translations and beta tester is found here**
https://steemit.com/busy/@busy.org/busy-new-design-and-multilanguage-call-for-translators
______________
#### I stumbled upon this translation service through a post by @valchiz where he translated the words suggestions by Busy.org through crowdin.com to Yorùbá language. 

### I really have to say he did an excellent job. This is something that cannot be done in a single day and at a stretch.
________________
## My observations:
_________
___________
Going through the translations, I really enjoyed them, However, I saw some words that could be easily improved upon.

**In Yorùbá language, one thing is very important**, 

<center>"Accents" </center>

**We have three types of accents in Yorùbá language**
#### 1). "re" with sign "~" although it is mostly not put on any word.

#### 2). "mi"  with sign "´"

#### 3). "do" with sign "`".

Also, the vowels have multiple few alphabets.

## In approving the translation of the Yorùbá words of the Busy.org, I discovered a *lacuna* that I can easily fill and that is the accents.
See 
https://crowdin.com/translate/busy/13/en-yo
__________________

## My contributions
_____________
____________
### After going through the translations one by one, I had a chat with @fabien and told him I could improve and approve some of the already translated words. He responded that I could give suggestions.

#### This gave me the right mindset to contribute my suggestions to the Yorùbá words.
_____________
____________
#### The words suggestions had 4 pages, I started with Page 1 and finished approving and improving all the word there. 
## Note:  I change many of them, this is because I had to put accents on it
## Reason: In Yorùbá language thesame word written in thesame way can mean several things. But we can only differentiate them with accents
### Example:
 Yorùbá words | Meaning
-------------|-------
Ògún | God of thunder 
Ogun | Problem
Ogùn | Medicine/Charm

________
________
**Looking at this example, there is a need to improve those words with accents.**
________
_______
This I have done for page 1.

I wish to check the others soon

## Conclusion
#### Busy.org is a great website that is going to serve all steemians in the best experience so far. I really enjoyed Utopian.io. I will use them in doing my posts.
