Please also include localisation of MediaWiki in further analysis. My current observation is that little to no localisation is being done for the above languages (Afrikaans may be an exception, with Yoruba gaining a little speed). In Betawiki (http://translatewiki.net) we facilitate in-wiki localisation that is updated on the Wikimedia farm very quickly. We also have an 'end of year translation rally' at the moment, so all translators are most welcome! Nice overview. Please also include localisation of MediaWiki in further analysis.

I didn't see the distinction was "South African languages", and that there is a subsection for "African languages" that does include Amharic. But now I see it. Please disregard last message.
