World's most popular forum software, phpBB, now available in Afrikaans

TshwaneDJe Software and Translation is proud to announce the creation and release of a professionally translated Afrikaans Language Pack for the popular phpBB forum (bulletin board, or online user discussion) software. The Language Pack allows administrators of phpBB-based forums to provide Afrikaans as an optional forum language for their users. It can be downloaded here:

If you are a user of a phpBB-based forum and would like to see it in Afrikaans, please ask your site administrator to install this!

The translation was done by Estea Fourie, with some help from Samuel Murray. The project was overseen by David Joffe. The work was made possible thanks to partial funding from Pharos Dictionaries, with TshwaneDJe covering the remainder of the cost.

The Language Pack covers all user-facing text strings and emails for ordinary forum users (though not administrator users), and the prosilver languageset, and is based on phpBB version 3.0.8.
