The minister of Science and Technology had this to say about Translate.org.za:

"The translate.org.za project has enjoyed much media focus because of the succesful launch of OpenOffice in Zulu, Sotho and Afrikaans. OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform office suite.  The project team recently made a presentation at an OpenOffice conference in Germnay, sharing experiences in translating OpenOffice."
