SuSE, the German Linux distributor, has announced it is readying to release Zulu and Xhosa versions of its distribution. The two new languages will be included as options in version 7,2 of its distribution. The project is a collaborative effort between SuSE and local consulting firm Saffral Consulting. “We are doing the translations locally and we w ill then submit them to SuSE for inclusion,” says Robin Hayes, GM of Saffral Consulting. The Zulu and Xhosa translations will only affect the SuSE installer and the basic desktop file systems, says Hayes. These would include translations for the Konqueror file manager. “Anything beyond that would b e a nightmare to achieve.” Instruction manuals and other documentation will also still be in English. – Misanet
