For those who are more comfortable with working with local languages especially Luganda, a great initiative of translating Mozilla Firefox into Luganda, one of Uganda’s largest spoken language was started by Translate.org.za, Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, Makerere University and Rhodes University.
In just two days, a group of around 300 students with a computing and luganda linguistics background were able to translate about 8,000 words of the Mozilla’s user interface into luganda.
You can read more about this from:
- BBC – Firefox translated into Luganda
- Tectonic – Ugandan students translate Firefox

In case you are interested in the provision language pack for Firefox 3.0, feel free to download it from Translate.org.za.
Otherwise, thanks to all those students who participated in this and the partners who came up with this initiative. We hope to see the whole of Mozilla Firefox in Luganda.
