Nadhani tatizo kubwa linalokumba jitihada za kueneza kiswahili ni uvumi baina ya waTz ambao hufikiria ya kwamba Kiswahili chao ndicho chapaswa kuigwa na wengine. This is as ridiculous as Americans telling the British to use the American English version na waache kusema tyres, lorries, boot, bitumen n.k. na waanze kutimia majina kama vile tires, trucks, trunk na asphalt. Si huo ni upumbavu?
Ukweli ni kuwa matumizi ya lugha yanalingana na muktadha ambao lugha inatumika na kutakuwa na tofauti ya msamiati unaotumiwa katika kiswahili chenu na cha huko Kenya. There are some words I have heard being used in your version that I have never heard in the Kenyan version (ok, most I get from Bongo flava songs. Mitungi, blanti mikasii--these are completely unknown in Kenya--although I suspect they are slang words).
Nadhani my point was that your first reaction should have been to celebrate that Microsoft appear to appreciate the importance of Swahili in this part of the world, which should be a good thing, no matter which version has been used. If anything, it means that it's actually possible to sell the idea to Microsoft of having some of your translators contribute to a TZ version iliyo na "Kiswahili fasaha"
