I have been quite busy guys(and gals) but we will have to get something
going in this second half of the year. I dont really have a lot of free time
as I used to while in school but we surely will get something done. I have
been gestating some ideas for some time now. I will update you all soon.

So long.
Kwamena.


David, Its not just about how many people speak a language but about
preserving it. its about making it available for someone who may prefer an
alternative.

I think Akan is the most popular Gh. language. We can really catch a
lot of crowd with Akan. Its a suggestion though..

Good point Saviour, Akan has been done but it was by only two guys they need
a lot of support to polish it up and keep it going. you can check it out and
try it out:

My opinion is that, we all should put our minds together take one of the language and we all know akan is well known so we take Akan and make the best out of it before dealing with next cos its better to do one very well for it to be well known then the rest will follow. Thank you all. All the best .

I agree, i think the current akan version needs a lot of work. if we perfect
that it can serve as a platform to make other translations way easier!
