Localized input methods for computers are the first technological hurdle in any localization effort for a language. African languages have inconsistent and mostly non-existent input method support on the three major operating systems—Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, and Linux.

The aim of this project is to create a representative keyboard layout for all the major cross-border language clusters and to promote their availability and adoption by the relevant user communities and standards bodies.
