Thanks to fast work by Sergey Udaltsov, the proposed keyboard layout for Swahili in Arabic script is now in the xkeyboard git tree. This means that at some point in the near future you will not have to edit your xkb files manually, as in the howto. All you will need to do is choose the new Tanzania or Kenya layouts on your keyboard switcher, and you will get the Arabic script layout automatically. Having this available as a default in all GNU/Linux distros should make it a lot esier to get started.

About me
- I'm Kevin Donnelly, and I live in Llanfairpwllgwyngylch gogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Most of my projects relate to linguistics in some form or other (largely Welsh in the past), or to stuff like audio, electronics, typesetting, etc that I find interesting, and that I can work with on GNU/Linux. You can contact me directly on my first name, plus dotmon, and then add a com at the end ...
