[Request] for DW in Swahili newsfeed (and more)

Could DW be added for KiSwahili? link

Swahili is very rare on the internet so far, but DW is used for German already. So it would make it easier to find content. It’s also available in Hindi and Macedonian. Two other languages with little content. So maybe for them too?

Luckily, I don’t work for LingQ. If I did, I wouldn’t be able to help you. Maybe I’m too stupid to know, but I had to google what DW means. I found the following meanings, among others:
deadweight, delayed weather, distilled water, dust wrapper, dear wife, don’t worry, Deutsche Welle, Darkwing Duck, dishwasher, …

None of them make sense in terms of your query. Maybe there are more of them, but I’ve lost the desire to search. I know I’m not an insider, but could you (and not only you) show a little consideration for us backward idiots and write plain text instead of some great-sounding abbreviations?

Well, if you noticed the link next to my first sentence, it would redirect you to the website.

Deutsche Welle was my request, because they produce lots of international content (albeit the German public broadcaster). Including in languages such as Macedonian, Swahili and Hindi.

I didn’t mean any offense by using an abbreviation it’s just the most common way to do it. Like PBS, NRK, SVT, etc. And also the first result where I’m based on google.
