Last September ANLoc Localise Software sub-project commenced its work to localise 5 open source software tools in 10 African languages.

After one month of hard work, ANLoc Localise Software is happy to announce the release of the first set of language packs for Firefox 3.6 in 7 African languages: Akan, Luganda, Lingala, Northern Sotho, Swahili, Wolof and Zulu.

The above language teams have reached the first milestone in this sub-project, which is to translate all words that appear when first starting FireFox browser, using menus or browsing the web in normal use, approximately 4000 words.
