African localisation wins at Stockholm
A little-known African localisation projected called KiLinux, which translated open source office suite OpenOffice.org into Swahili, scooped an award under the Education category.
The KiLinux team has also developed a Swahili IT Glossary

Swahili equivalents. The glossary has been released under a Creative
