Habari! LandPKS Soil ID partners with ShambaSense to add Swahili

By Derek Caelin

LandPKS Soil ID now supports Swahili! Get version 1.4.5 today for Android or iPhone.  We’d like to thank Bonstein Sisa of ShambaSense for his review of the Swahili translation. As a soil health app focused on smallholder farmers, ShambaSense places a priority on clear, nontechnical language so users of all levels of expertise can learn about their soil. These are values we appreciate at LandPKS and we look forward to collaborating more with ShambaSense in the future. We also worked with our partners to refine the Spanish, French, Ukrainian, and Georgian translations.

This release also includes fixes for various bugs involving the color modules and using the map. For users with multiple LandPKS Soil ID accounts, we addressed an issue where sites would persist between sessions. You can follow along with LandPKS updates by reading our changelog.
