Firefox will be translated into South American Quechua to promote
digital inclusion

9TH FEBRUARY 2012 by ANNA HEIM

The Internet browser Firefox may soon be available in Quechua, Mozilla
has announced on its Peruvian blog. The translation work will be
crowdsourced, and you’re welcome to join the project if you can speak
or write this language.

As you may know, Quechua is a native South American language, which is
widely spoken in the Andes. In Bolivia and Peru, it is an official
language, and there are around 3 millions Quechua speakers in Peru,
according to estimates.

Yet, there is very little content available in Quechua on the
Internet. As Mozilla points out, this is the result of several
factors, starting with the limited access to computers, Internet and
electricity in indigenous communities.
