Google Uganda has now recently been made available in Luganda, a language native to Uganda according to Google Africa blog. The translation was  facilitated by Jonathan Gosier of the Appfrica Labs team, Nabireeba James and James Olweny of Makerere University.

Google Uganda was already available in Swahili, the addition of Luganda will make Google more accessible and usable to the Luganda speaking population in Uganda. This is an obvious move by Google to make itself more relevant  for the local population.

The translation happened by leveraging locals, in a grassroots like movement.

You can follow the whole story at the Google Africa blog, complete with an interview of Jonathan Gosier who works at Appfrica labs, a Ugandan startup incubator.
