[Feature]: Add Swahili (sw) language translations
Author: GODFREY-EMCreated Aug 23, 2026Updated Aug 25, 2026
Description
Bagisto currently ships with 22 locales but no support for Swahili (Kiswahili), spoken by an estimated 150-200 million people across East and Central Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, DRC, Rwanda, Burundi) — one of the official languages of the African Union and the most widely spoken language in East Africa, a rapidly growing e-commerce region.
This issue tracks the addition of complete Swahili (sw) translations:
- Root framework files:
lang/sw/(auth, passwords, pagination, validation) - All 14 packages exposing translation files (Admin, Shop, Installer, Core, Customer, Product, Attribute, DataTransfer, Stripe, PayPal, PayU, PhonePe, Razorpay, PayGlocal)
- Locale registration in
SupportedLocales.php - Installer locale labels (
sw/swahili) across all existing locale files
Terminology follows common East African commerce usage (bidhaa, bei, malipo, risiti, kodi, sarafu, duka la mtandaoni). PR to follow.
