P. Nugent from OpenOffice.org has filed a bug in the [Unicode] Common Locale Data Repository, the bug tries to merge our proposal for a Swahili locale with the existing standard. More information here.

The reference is Id 498.

More information of our proposed changes is here

A XML copy of our Swahili (Tanzania) locale for OpenOffice is available to download here

We are currently working in a similar version of the locale for Swahili (Kenya) sw_KE.xml

We have started our work with the Swahili locale for Tanzania sw_TZ.xml. The locale is a XML document that encodes among other things the way that dates, ordering or abbreviations of months and name of days are done in a certain specific language.
