[message from .Ed Cherlin; with minor changes]

You should also be aware that .One.Laptop.Per.Child (OLPC) is working on
translating more than a hundred .applications for its Linux-based XO laptop
to Yoruba, Hausa, Fula/Fulfulde, and Igbo (see
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization and http://dev.laptop.org/translate),
and invites Nigerians and in fact anyone from any under-served
language-community to join together to create translations into other
languages. "Nigeria's official language is English along with Edo, Efik,
Adamawa Fulfulde, Hausa, Idoma, Igbo, Central Kanuri and Yoruba."

If you are interested, you can register at http://dev.laptop.org/translate.
To start a new language project, follow the directions at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization

If you need help getting started, send me an e-mail. I volunteer as a
Volunteer Coordinator with OLPC. We also want to translate our Wiki,
textbooks, educational content, and much more besides.
