Hello,


I am a linguistics graduate student, and I am interested in finding any
information about language choice in internet development for Africa.


I have looked through many of the documents that people have suggested,
but language does not seem to be an issue in technology
(internet/computerization) implementation.


I would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the direction of any such
information, or simply tell me from personal experience if development
takes place predominately in English/French, or if there are multilingual
resources available to users.


Thanks.
Karen.
