Localise software

Localise software

While all of these sub-projects are important to enable African languages, build good tools, etc. – unless we actually localise we are not able to showcase the results of the project's work.

The Localise Software sub-project is looking at localising existing open source projects into different African languages. This will allow the network to expand, the tools to be used and tested and the coverage of African languages to increase.

Check Software Localisation Wiki for more details on our plans, what software will be localised, in which languages, etc.
