![]() ![]() We also learned a lot about copyright and submission to the alexa skill store. #Minion language how to#What we learned We learned how to use API's, how to create and Alexa skill from start to end with a lambda function, as well as some nifty words and phrases in the minion language (such as bee translates to buzz buzz). Some of the words are from other foreign languages like Spanish, Korean, Chinese and Filipino. Accomplishments that we're proud of We are proud of my lambda function, use of API's, and use of the Alexa SDK. We know how gibberish the minions are saying but did you know some of the words the minions are saying are translatable. ![]() Related to the API, in the beginning, we had little trouble using an external library, but it wouldn't run in the lambda function due to the Amazon Linux machines only having python's internal libraries, which forced me to use urllib and urllib2 which was complicated due to the multiple name changes the libraries functions had from python 2.7 to 3.6. Origin of Minionese Most people refer to Minionese as gibberish and nonsense, nothing like a language, just some silly phrases, designed to sound funny. The language is known to us as Minionese, also called Banana Language. ![]() It was also our first time creating a lambda function, so there were a few road bumps related to that. This practically-jumbled language is spoken by those little, pill-shaped, yellow fellows known to us as Minions. The challenges we ran into were mostly related to this being my first time with an API and an Alexa skill, such as the format of how the Alexa SDK uses JSON for input and output of the lambda function. Also, we had never used an API before so it was our first time using JSON and the urllib and urllib2 libraries. #Minion language code#How we built it We used the Alexa skill kit SDK for creating the skill, We also used Amazon lambda for writing and editing the code and the backend, and we used Fun Translations API to translate English into the minion language.Ī few challenges we ran into related to this being my first time creating an alexa skill and not knowing how to use the Alexa SDK. In order to get started with the Minion Translator, simply ask Minion Translator "how to use the minion translator" or simply just ask minion translator for "help" and you will be prompted with detailed instructions on how to use the Minion translator. The Minion Translator skill takes as input any word or phrase and translates it into the minion language. Also, we thought that having a voice assistant device mess up the pronunciation of the words, which would make sense due to there being no minion related voice assistant, would also be a source of entertainment for users of the skill. As teenagers (and little kids at heart) the randomness, creativity, and overall fun that the minion character embodies and displays through his/her language is engaging and would be more engaging for little kids.

When you’d use this one out loud in public, be prepared for some dirty looks coming your way. Who knew ‘I hate you’ would sound this cute? Image Sourceĩ. This sure looks inspired by the Bollywood dialogue ‘saki naka’. One of my favourite phrases! Image Sourceħ. Saying bye like a minion be like! Image Sourceĥ. Known as Minionese or Banana language, commonly, these minion words are taken from various language across the globe.īefore Despicable Me 3‘s release, it will be a good idea to add those adorable minion words to your daily dictionary. Like me, if you are a minion fan and find these yellow beings too cute to handle, then you would know that the language these munchkins speak is real. ![]()
