Of course what the unnamed Microsoft spokesman forgot to mention was that:

* Afrikaans is still in beta and has not been released. In fact it seems to have been in beta for over a year. So either they are testing very thoroughly or ... smoke and mirrors
* Kiswahili is in the terminology definition phase, ie they have not even started translations.

So to say that Microsoft is available in those languages is rather far from the truth.
