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?
