It is much better for them to learn English.
It might even be a bad idea to have them use
translated software as 1) such a translation
will be incomplete and suboptimal by
definition, and 2) this hinders their progress
in English.
A good way to learn English is to use
technology in English. I think this is a huge
part in all the young Germans etc.
suddenly speaking English very, very good.
Why this can't happen in Tanzania as well,
the devil knows.
I started to use a computer many years before
my age consisted of two digits. Software in
Swedish were unheard of the thought never
crossed anyones mind. Nonetheless I never had
any problems - except for the "King's Quest",
"Space Quest" and such games which tought me
the unidiomatic English of "open door", "get
dagger", etc. [1]
If an 8-year-old can do that, surely any young
adult who is learning how to operate *Emacs*
can do it!
[1] Perhaps the Russian guys have been playing
those games as well :)
