translate.org.za

Before I created a database for storing the content on this site, I made a post about translate.org.za - a local open-source software translation project.

The project aims to give learners, pensioners and all citizens of South Africa access to computers in their mother tongue. Firstly with tools for email and web-browsing, then office productivity tools and lastly with a completely translated desktop.

Since that post it appears that the translation project has received widespread publicity and has had prominent coverage in recent months. And they've kept true to their mission: Mozilla has been translated into the following six languages: Xhosa, Zulu, Venda, Northern Sotho, Siswati and Tswana. The language packs (and the progress thereof) are available for download.
