Abstract
Android platform provides useful words and phrases in English language, with
translations in Yorùbá language, for the use of visitors to places where the language is
spoken; it can be likened to bilingual dictionary of English-Yorùbá. It is developed on
Mobile platform for easier accessibility, convenience and portability. Rough Set Theory
(RST) is the mathematical tool used in decision support and data analysis of words or
phrases that are to be translated. Comparisons between query that is, word or phrase to
be translated, are made with the created corpus, using RST. Programming tools
employed for mobile platform are JDK 6, Apache Ant 1.8 or later, Android Software
Development Kit, Eclipse Integrated Development Environment, Android Developer and
Android Studio while latest technologies such as PHP, Mysql,. net, Mssql 2005, 2008,
Ajax techies, C#. It brings the usefulness of Information Technology to the doorstep of
non- Yorùbá tourists or learners who wish to converse, make friends with Yorùbá people
or transact business with Yorùbá indigenes that are not literate. It was found after its
deployment to be intelligible and accurate with minimal errors. New words and
expressions that are suitable for situations, legislation, science, engineering, commerce,
computing, mass communication and other sphere of life were created in a large number.
