The trials are being implemented in a local primary school in collaboration with the University of the South Pacific (USP) Centre in Nauru, and the Ministry of Education.

Localization

A localization project is being opened on the OLPC Pootle server for Nauru language. [1]

Nauruan is used as the language of instruction in early childhood education. The Ministry of Education is developing it's own language rules. The language uses special characters and some research is needed to identify the best way to localise the laptop for Nauruan.
