[A12n-forum] Re: Google in Twi (and other languages)

["Don Osborn" <dzo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Google has been localized for several other African languages as well, with
more on the way, and, I think, possibilities for still others...

Afrikaans
http://www.google.com/intl/af/

Amharic (needs Ethiopic/Ge'ez font)
http://www.google.com/intl/am/

Arabic
http://www.google.com/intl/ar/

Sesotho
http://www.google.com/intl/st/

Swahili
http://www.google.com/intl/sw/

Tigrinya (needs Ethiopic/Ge'ez font)
http://www.google.com/intl/ti/

Twi
http://www.google.com/intl/tw/

Xhosa
http://www.google.com/intl/xh/

Zulu
http://www.google.com/intl/zu/

Anyone interested in doing more translations (some widely spoken languages
are not yet represented) check out their "Google in your language" program
page: https://services.google.com/tc/Welcome.html

A list, from another page on their site, of target languages includes the
following for Africa (some of the above are apparently not 100% finished; a
couple below - Lingala and Somali - are supposedly 100% but not in the list
above):

Language % Complete
Afar 0%
Amharic 89%
Hausa 16%
Kinyarwanda 0%
Kirundi 0%
Lingala 100%
Malagasy 13%
Oromo 4%
Sangho 0%
Sesotho 79%
Setswana 36%
Shona 91%
Siswati 0%
Somali 100%
Swahili 94%
Tigrinya 89%
Tsonga 0%
Twi 89%
Wolof 0%
Xhosa 88%
Yoruba 70%
Zulu 89%

Hope this is of use...
