Yet another problem facing modern technologies has always been Localisation of computer programs. However this was not the case as accessing a number of applications like email and websites in the native languages has undergone a big step. The Rhodes University's Horde email system was being translated into isiXhosa in a successful 48-hour Translate@thon last week friday during which an attempt was made to translate 10 000 words of the system. All thanks goes to people like Translate.org.za for their efforts in the uplifting process of our native languages.
I'm sure it would be very nice to see such wonderful events expanding to the rest of the country soon. I'm looking forward to see myself attend many Translate@thon's next time. :)
