Re: [Translate-discuss-zu] A start to Firefox in Zulu

[Mthokozisi N. <mrn...@br...>]

Hi there

Im also ready to go!

I think that translating firefox into a huge local language is very
newsworthy, and if we push enough, we can invite guys like Ukhozi FM to join
the initiative (or at least give it airtime). They have over 7 million Zulu
speaking (deep Zulu) people who would be over-the-moon over this project,
and can make it a great success.

What do you guys think?

Regards
