Firefox 2.0.0.5 in Afrikaans

Screenshot of the Afrikaans localisation of Firefox 2.0.0.5 on Ubuntu Linux

Sorry for not blogging much the last while, I am hectically busy with work and study.

A few days back I discovered mozilla.mirror.ac.za, a South African Mozilla mirror (just in case that isn't obvious from the URI - should be obvious, especially to locals).

Anyway, on there I found the latest Firefox 2.0.0.5 in Afrikaans for Linux so I immediately downloaded and installed it (I needed to upgrade my copy anyway since I was still using 2.0.0.4).

I am really impressed after installing it. The localisation work is of superb quality and I didn't find any bugs yet. For those that don't know, the Afrikaans Firefox localisations are made by the really cool guys at Translate.org.za.

Well done people! You are doing excellent open source work for our country!!!

Of course there are some minor issues, like I would prefer using "vertoon" instead of "bekyk", etc. but I realise these words were handed down from the old seamonkey translations.
