This is the wiki for the OLPC Afghanistan. The mission of this Not for Profit Organization is to create an environment for OLPC, take necessary steps to ensure every child in Afghanistan get the laptop and develop the Local Activities for OLPC laptops that could revolutionize how we educate our children. The goal is to provide every child in Afghanistan with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves in a collaborative way.

Afghanistan is a very famous for being a multicultural country. Participation of the OLPC project in Afghanistan will not only revolutionize the way we teach children, the vision behind this "educational" project, but also scale up the eco-system of sharing between the diverse set of communities existing in the central Asian countries.

Localization

Afghanistan has 34 provinces and 6 to 8 commonly spoken languages with more than 36 Languages in total. The language with the largest number of speakers is Farsi and Pashto. Both languages are official languages of the country, mainly used for educational, business and governmental purposes.

All XO laptops will be localized into both languages. Localization takes place during first two months of the project deployment, using volunteers translations from Pootle and employing two professional linguists to translate untranslated parts and review current translations.

With OLPC Pilot approaching, there are still a lot of strings to be translated (status). We would like to ask all volunteers interested to continue the great job in translation, new ones to join the localization team, get together, roll up sleeves, get some snacks n drinks ready and have a Translation Nite-out!
