Hi Folks,
We’re very pleased to announce a new feature on Yinkos Hymns Manager, especially for choirs that sing in multiple languages. YHM now has improved support for languages. How does this work?
Firstly, when you save your hymn MP3s in YHM, you can now specify if the hymn was sung in English or Yoruba and the language will become associated with the hymn and will be easily visible when browsing hymns. This makes it easier for users to find hymns in the correct language, especially if they store hymns in multiple languages.
Also, when you pick hymns numbers for a forthcoming church service on the Hymn Number Records page, you now have the option to specify the language of each hymn, i.e. whether it’s English or Yoruba. On saving the hymn number, the language gets displayed next to the number, making it easy to tell what language to sing the hymn in. But that’s not all. When you specify the language for the hymn number you have picked, YHM automatically connects it with the corresponding hymn MP3 in the specified language if available.
This means let’s say you upload an MP3 for Hymn 5 in English and then you also upload a separate Hymn 5 MP3 in Yoruba using the Hymn MP3 page. Then you later decide you want to sing Hymn 5 in English for your next church service. So, you go to the Hymn Number Records page and choose Hymn 5 and specify English for the language. As soon as you do this, if you open the Hymn 5 English lyrics and play the audio, it will play your English MP3 recording. Similarly, if you open the Hymn 5 Yoruba lyrics and play the audio, YHM will play your Yoruba MP3. You can do all these with just a few clicks right there on the same page.
Why is this so cool? Because it means it’s now very easy to access and listen to all the audio recordings of the hymns you plan to sing for a future service in the correct language. This makes personal practice easier.
So, what are you waiting for? Visit YHM to try it out. We look forward to your feedback. That’s it for now. Till next time, happy hymns management.
