The Durban Institution of Technology (DIT) Translate-a-thon kicked off on Saturday, with the second annual mass event to translate up to 30 000 computer software words into Zulu.

Forty people, including lecturers, students and the South African Translation Institution, committed to the development of indigenous languages in the English dominated field of IT, volunteered their time to take part.
