Problems and suggestions with swahili translation

[Wycklife]

We will be posting suggestions and the errors we find on the swahili translation here.

1. Going over the already existing translation and confirming if the language used is correct.
2. Checking if the translated words have any effect on the dialogs.

@berylwaswa that's great to have a copy like this. But you now need to accept that these suggestions now need to be acted on. So, either you should nominate someone in the message who can discuss with you, or you should (provisionally) make those corrections yourselves. Then they will result in a pull request, and once accepted, they mill be implemented in the next version.

@rdstern we will discuss the way forward and we may work on those corrections ourselves. Kind Regards, Beryl Waswa, Research Assistant, INNODEMS.

@Wycklife and @berylwaswa will work on making these corrections once the French translations are done, in the meantime, I will keep adding the list of suggestions for the translation.

Good that progress is being made on Kiswahili translation. I wonder how efficient it is to wait for the completion of the French translation before doing anything on the Kiswahili translation. Can there be a closer collaboration between groups that work on translation such that this is done at the same time? For example, resizing of controls can be done at the same time while switching between languages. Another option is to work on the same PR which requires coordination between groups/individuals.

This will means more work but ideally, it will consolidate translation work and therefore avoid multiple PRs and delays.

My thoughts.

Roger suggested we wait but if you think there is a way we can work simultaneously then we can do that. @Wycklife let me know what and how we can do that.
