We're continuing to translate Firefox on Pootle. Just added are Venda, Ndonga (a dialect of Owambo) and Heroro.

This takes us up to 17 African languages being localised on Pootle. The levels of activity vary from super active to still gotta get off the ground. Seven are released in Firefox, three are waiting review (Wolof, Fulah and Acoli).

Apart from the African languages we're also supporting: Urdu, Sakha and Scots Gaelic. In fact we'll support any world language that needs a little help to overcome the technical hurdles of localising Firefox.

To make things easier for new teams we added documentation to the Mozilla wiki about localising Firefox on Pootle.

There has been quite some activity in Uganda with regard to localising Firefox.

The Lugandan teams had a Firefox launch last week (29 September 2011). I sent them a video congratulating them on their work.

The same team is behind Acholi which went from zero to hero is little over 4 weeks. Following the Lugandan launch we've been joined by people translating Lusoga. A great day for the languages of Uganda.

With the addition of Lusoga we're now translating 13 Firefox languages on Pootle. Some of these are official Firefox translations and some are yet to move out of Aurora into the normal Mozilla process. We started with 4 a little over a year ago, so a growth to 13 is really encouraging.

The languages hosted on Pootle were initially only African but now we have included non-African languages, Urdu and Sakha. We now accept anyone who wishes to translate Firefox into their language.

If your language isn't covered by Firefox and you need some help and assistance in getting up to speed then this community can help you.
