I have seen how facebook have tried to have a kiswahili version, good idea if you ask me, but I wasnt very impressed with most of the translations. Although I speak kiswahili most of the words did seem foreign. I think the problem with all this is as follows. First, kiswhaili doesnt have enough vocabularies, especially technical words. Secondly, even if we translate every thing to kiswahili, some words will create more difficulties for the readers to understand, even for people who are fluent in kiswahili. I believe most of us will have to read these translated articles to kiswhaili with a kamusi (swahili dictionary) on the side. In conclusion, I think this will be a great move, it will help swahili grow, expand, also reate jobs, only that it wont be easy in the beginning. Kiswahili is not as easy as we all tend to think, because written and spoken are not all the same thing....but am for the idea.bahatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14218809861186939313noreply@blogger.com
