Mozilla Firefox Luganda Makerere University, in collaboration with Rhodes University, Firefox Mozilla and Translate.org team have translated Mozilla Firefox into Luganda. You can download a beta-version now, but keep in mind that we are still carrying out quality checks and will be releasing the final complete version at a later date. Please note that for one to install the Luganda add-on, one should already be using Firefox 3.0.1. Below are some instructions about how to download and install this beta-version.

1. Crosscheck that your Firefox browser is 3.0.1. Incase not, click here to upgrade ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ ).

2. Open this page (http://translate.org.za/). Within the subsection of NEWSFLASH, under the heading of “Kickstarting Firefox in Luganda” click on DOWNLOAD.

3. A window entitled “Software Installation” will be activated. An xpi file will appear within the window. Just click on INSTALL NOW.

4. You have now installed the Luganda add-on, but you will not be able to see the changes unless you install the language switcher. The language switcher will enable you to change between languages. Open this page and download the Locale Switcher 2.1 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/356).

5. Re-start Firefox for all these changes to be seen.

6. Go to Tools > Languages > Ganda to start using your new Luganda version of Mozilla.

7. Incase you want to switch back to English, go to Tools > Languages > English
