10th NU12 Topic: The Filipino Dialect Translator
Summer is fast approaching! It's the time where we go places, spend time with families & friends, explore & be one with nature, and see the beauty of our country. But one (1) dilemma I have is how to communicate with the people on those different places. I only knew three (3) Filipino dialects: Tagalog, Waray, & Ilocano. As for the Waray & Ilocano dialect I can say that I'm only 10-15% familiar and don't know how to speak but only understand some words.
Did you know that there are more than 175 languages being used here in the Philippines? Here are some popular Filipino dialects which you might know: Tagalog, Cebuano, Kapampangan, Tausug, Waray, Ilocano, Chavacano, Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), etc…
The idea is to create a mobile app that provides an accurate translation of these different dialects.
Features of the app:
1. Provides accurate translation
2. Comes in a user-friendly interface. Example: drop-down option to choose and equate one dialect to another
3. Showcase the tourist spots of that area and/or province that uses the chosen dialect
4. Includes vicinity map
5. Provides information and online reviews on where to eat, where to book hotels, and what are the famous "pasalubong" and its cost. 4
