Dear Friends,
Happy New Year! Greetings from all at translate.org.za. In the interests of furthering our various mother tongue languages, we have a good list of New Year's Resolutions for you ...(apart from the one to send Translate.org's New Year's resolutions sooner than the end of January next year ;-)

 TEN THINGS(+1) TO SHOW I CARE ABOUT MY LANGUAGE
- Bank with ABSA. They have ATMs programmed in most of our eleven South African languages and have been forerunners in making banking accessible in all languages.
- Choose a cell phone that has an interface in your own language. They are out there, you just have to find them.
- Set your webbrowser to your mother tongue. Take a look on our site for instructions.
- Phone 1023 and speak your home language, whatever it is. They do have people who speak the different languages and it's more than okay to ask.
- Insist on government forms and websites in your language. It's part of our constitution.
- Use only software that is translated into your language. Enough said on that one.
- Read a novel in your home language – there is good literature out there, find it and enjoy it.
- Write a blog in your mother tongue. There are surprisingly few blogs in South African languages other than English.
- Contribute to Wikipedia in your own language.
- Have business cards printed in your own language.
And finally .... Translate this list into your mother tongue and send it on to your friends.
Have a happy 2007 and thanks for your support.
