Whats so hard` about clicking the Link which redirects you to the google homepage in English. For those complaining when a Language like Swahili is gaining more relevance in the dissemination of ideas and knowledge don't really grasp the significance of Lang in advancing human knowledge.

@ Brainiac, i think the problem is user friendliness according to the O.B, the complainant raised an issue that the language in question (swahili) was too difficult so we are looking at the pros and cons of having swahili as the default language of google.co.ke, but a lister has pointed out that it is easy to switch to english, which solves the problem. Charges dropped!!

And instead of complaining about it you should be taking this chance to expand the vocab of this language that is native to your motherland!
