Software Localisation Wiki

The Localise Software sub-project is looking at localising existing FOSS projects into different African languages.

The different language teams will be assisted with a small team of technical experts, who will help them with the different localisation processes for each of the software they will be localising.

Software to be localised

• Firefox (browser)
• Fennec (mobile browser)
• Pootle (online localisation tool)
• Virtaal (offline localisation tool)
• GlossMaster (terminology tool)
