My name is Obore, so even though I wish to play devil's advocate for a moment, I hope it is understood that am not against the Acholi (my ancestors) or any local Ugandan tribe, or even translation...
BUT: * So, Firefox is in Acholi - now what? Are there any websites in Acholi?* Is it worth it translating anything to Luganda, Runyankore, Lusoga, etc? (besides sentimental value & proof of concept) I suspect that most Ugandans who have access to a browser plus internet connection speak English anyway, don't they? (OK, maybe not the Bukedde group, but all others i suppose) I have no facts to support what i claim - just anecdotal evidence. But am open to your ideas. Whats your opinion? Are there any records about non-english literacy in Uganda? R.
