Hi Kiggundu,

If you could forward the email as discussed.  Many Thanks.

Hi,

You might have heard of the Translate.org.za project - our aim has been 
to translate computer software into the 11 official languages of South 
Africa.  That task is progressing well with work in KDE, Mozilla and 
OpenOffice.  Part of our work has been to develop software to assist 
translation, but we are currently also looking at ways to help other 
people get similar projects going.

If you would like to join us in the development of the translation tools 
then please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 
"subscribe" in the body.

My thoughts on a translation initiative for Uganda started after reading 
an article about SchoolWeb.  If you are interested in starting a 
translation initiative then please lets chat.  Our projects long term 
aims is to help such initiatives.  We'd like to share our knowledge with 
other Africans and get localisation off the ground in many more 
countries.  If translation work is already happening then please join 
the devel list as those tools are for all to use.
