I participated in this project as group leader for the Luo group. The program started in February 2009 and went slowly till February this year 2010 when was completed.
Luo is the language spoken by the second largest ethnic group in Uganda - the Nilo Hamites.
In 2008, when I participated in the translation of Mozilla Firefox into Luganda, the most widely spoken language in Uganda, I wrote that it was his interest to have something of the same sort happening for his mother language too (Look at my August 2008 publications here). This has finally come to pass and has left me so exited.
Congratulations to Google for all their good initiatives.
Yeah, the struggle continues....

Kenneth, this is a great work that you are doing. I come from West Nile and speak Lugbara and request that after finishing Luo you come and do in our language too. Thanks
My name is Peter
