Firefox available in Afrikaans

The popular Mozilla Firefox web browser has been officially released in Afrikaans, thanks to the work of award-winning non-profit organisation Translate.org.za and its volunteer community. This is the first official release of Afrikaans translations in the Firefox 2.0 series.

It is estimated that between 15-20%, or almost one million South African internet users reportedly make use of the Firefox web browser.

Firefox 2 is available in a native language version for more people around the world than any other web browser and has already been translated into more than 41 languages.

Firefox is developed by an international community of contributors working together under the umbrella of the Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit, public-benefit organization dedicated to improving the internet experience for people everywhere.

The latest version can be downloaded free from: www.mozilla.com.

      I’m surprised to hear this! Was it not available because native language support was not present? Anyways its good news for them.

      I do not know about the Firefox history on language support, but it sure seems they have been busy to have Firefox in 41 languages.
