I was really surprised about the fast translation done by the community of Togo. OSM Mali and OSM Ghana were very friendly, gave feedback and helped me to spread the translation project.

Hello Sören. <a href="mailto:talk-africa@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">talk-africa@openstreetmap.org</a> is English language only but, <br>
in French-speaking West Africa, the Openstreetmap contributors use <br>
French almost exclusively in their Openstreetmap practice. French <br>
translation proves valuable in including them.<br>
<br>
cc: Nathalie Sidibe, from Openstreetmap Mali, who is fluent in English <br>
but very aware of how much French translations are required in her local <br>
community - she can give you the local perspective.<br>
