Facebook in the Maori Language | Karaitiana Taiuru

16.9.12

Facebook in the Maori Language | Karaitiana Taiuru: Facebook is now available in the Maori language thanks to a small partnership of language revitalisation experts.

We live in exciting times in terms of the Māori language where with the right combination of Language speakers and technical people we are able to have software and web sites translated into Māori, a feat that until recently was only a dream.

As Facebook no longer recognise minority languages to localise the official platform, the Māori Facebook translation is available to install via a script which will work for users of Google Chrome. The script is simply installed via the Google Chrome Store via https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cgopigcnpdephndgbdkbiapnepgdbjfd

The majority of the translations were completed by Ian Cormack which was begun by Teanau Tuiono and co-ordinated by Karaitiana Taiuru.
