Omwami Lunghabo,
Congratulations. What you've accomplished is a milestone on the
indigenous digital superhighway and an encouragement to all of us
who recognize the importance of African languages as a dynamic part of
the development equation to stay the course.
All the best.

> It is all smiles at James Lunghabo?s office on Kagga House in Kampala where a Luganda language Internet browser has been made ready for use.
>
> Lunghabo, the managing director of Linux Solutions, yesterday announced that the ?Kayungirizi web browser? is ready for distribution.
>
> He said the software would be made available for download from the Internet.
> According to Lunghabo, the software will be launched today during the Uganda I-Network monthly seminar in Kampala.
>
> ?It will be easier for Luganda speakers to surf the Internet. They will not have to ask for explanations since everything is explained in Luganda,? Lunghabo said.
>
> Earlier this year, The New Vision reported that local players in information and communication technology were developing a virtual instrument to bridge the digital divide.
>
> The ?Kayungirizi web browser? can be used in computers which have windows, Linux of Unix operating systems.
>
> ?With the sprouting Internet caf�s within the country where Luganda is common language, ?Kayungirizi? will be a vital tool. Since it is free, it will be easier for many to communicate on the Internet,? he said.
>
> The brains behind this project have also initiated a Luganda word processor which will be used with the Luganda Internet browser.
>
> In March, Lunghabo and Ivan Mugabi said there were arrangements to extend ?Kayungirizi? into other local languages like Lunyankole, Lunyoro, Luo and Ateso. Research is underway.
>
> He said more than 50% of Ugandans will be potential users of their products.
> Experts said the number of people getting access to the Internet in Uganda is increasing and the enthusiasm of the public had created demand for local content.
