The speakers of indigenous languages can download a specific version of Firefox, appropriate to their navigation needs.
The Mozilla community is developing a project called Mozilla Native that is focused on the incorporation of indigenous languages into the digital world, specifically for the Firefox web browser.
The community is comprised of users, translators, developers, activists and want to take the idea to people that some languages are not compatible with the technology. According to Mozilla:
“When dying an indigenous language dies a cultural legacy with her. Many indigenous languages, especially in Latin America, are in serious danger of extinction. a process of language revitalization is required and Mozilla Firefox browser is presented as the first worldwide translated into indigenous languages throughout Latin America.”
For Monica Bonilla, leader and representative of Mozilla Native, the project has allowed Internet users speak a native language of Latin America, define the web based on your browsing needs, and promote the Internet as a public resource and tool for inclusion social.
Today, there are already about 50 full projects in native languages including teams in Peru, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador and El Salvador.
Native Mozilla already has a couple of successful cases, the location in Paraguay Guarani the language spoken primarily-and Maya Kaqchikel which is spoken in Guatamela -. They coupled with that, they are about to launch three locations of Firefox for Android in Colombia, two in Mexico and one in Peru; They are including language Minica Uitoto, Paez, Quichua Otavaleño, Triqui and Zapotec.
