## Usage:
This dataset can be used for:
 - Training machine translation models for Yoruba.
 - Analyzing translation quality and limitations in automated tools.
 - Supporting linguistic research and NLP projects for low-resource languages.

## Limitations and Considerations:
 - **Quality of Translations**: As translations were generated using Google Translate, some sentences may not reflect perfect accuracy. Manual validation is recommended for critical applications.
 - **Cultural and Contextual Nuances**: Machine translations might miss idiomatic expressions or cultural nuances present in the source language.
 - **Biases**: Any biases inherent in Google Translate's model may propagate into this dataset.
