USING LOCAL LANGUAGES IN OUR DISCUSSIONS

Can anyone tell me why we keep communicating here in english? how can we promote languages that we dont use in our day to day activities? is this not like saying we like football but play tennis ALL THE TIME? why cant we start communicating here in the languages we are trying to develop and use? even if the support (IT) systems have not been optimised? can this be done? cant we now write emails in Twi? ewe? or hausa? how can we move these developments forward FASTER? AND START USING THESE LANGUAGES NOW?
