 Microsoft released the Kiswahili Language Interface Pack for Office 2003. They will release Windows XP in Kiswahili sometime next year.

I downloaded it yesterday and I must say I am terribly excited. Finally, I can use something in my own language. Its very interesting the way, technologies seems so much more accessible, now that it is in Kiswahili. I mean, I am in the IT field, so I am no stranger to computers, but this latest development makes computers seem nearer somehow.

For those who use OpenOffice, there is Jambo OpenOffice - the Kiswahili version. It was released late last year. BTW, Open Office is free software. One problem though. The team did not involve Kiswahili speakers of other countries, except Tanzania. The rest of East and Central Africa speak Kiswahili, so why were they left out? sad.gif You can download the latest version at www.openoffice.org .

If you are a Kiswahili speaker, you had better get this software ASAP. grin.gif
