Thank you for your kind words.
I have started with an Afrikaans translation for Gambas. Affrikaans originated from Dutch, and is the first language of over seven million people in South Africa and Namibia. Who knows, one day schools might use Gambas to teach programming in South African schools?
To keep track of the translation, there is a small site in Google Sites (
https://sites.google.com/site/gambasafrikaans/ ) and a Github page containing the present state of the translation. (
https://github.com/casperl/Gambas-Afrikaans ) I will of course utilise the conventional procedure in Gambas to submit the Afrikaans translations,
To the best of my knowledge there is no educational tool in computer science that is available in Afrikaans and Gambas fits the bill exactly. Since I will also translate the Wiki, this is an excelling project with which to become familiar with all the aspects of Gambas. I spent an hour (or two) writing a .csv import routine, only to later discover that there is an existing .csv import routine in Gambas. (Note to self, I really need to spend more time working through the wiki.)
The best way to learn anything has always been to explain it to another person, so lets hope a few tutorials, walk-throughs and sample code will result from this.
One suggestion is that you open a create a topic called `Gambas Advocacy` on the forum where links such as recent review of Gambas in a Linux magazine can be posted. That would even include any interesting Gambas programs one comes across on Github, Sourceforge or elsewhere on the Internet.
Have a great and productive day working in Gambas!
