I think this is just a collection of icons and background images they're using to make both Gnome and KDE look alike. It should have no impact on the work of people working on Indic language support. -Arun |

Hi all, Redhat has announced version 8.0 which has announced using a new UI called Bluecurve anstead of KDE and GNOME.

Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2002 07:43:54 +0100 (BST) From: Pramod R <pra...@ya...> To: su...@ma... Subject: i8n-happenings (Kannada KDE Screenshots!) Great news for those keen on getting kannada on linux via Kde and Gnome. Arun Sharma has posted a screenshot of a kde desktop with kannada icons. The reason the half-consonants or vattu's have not been showing is kde-3 has basic support for Indian languages and not for all the glyphs. Anyway, do subscribe to the mailing list(given below), if you are interested in translating gnome or kde. -Pramod. --- Arun Sharma <ar...@sh...> wrote: > From: Arun Sharma <ar...@sh...> > To: ka...@sh... > Subject: [Kannada] Kannada KDE Screenshots! > Date: Sun, 22 Sep 2002 13:07:38 -0700 > > Without further ado: > > http://www.sharma-home.net/~adsharma/languages/kannada/desktop/snapshot2.png > > Details: > > - The translation work is not limited to kde-i18n/kn > directory as > suggested in the KDE translation howto. > > - Every desktop icon (such as Home.desktop) has a > table of translations > (Name[kn]=..., Name[en]=... etc) and needs to be > edited.

Please note the addition of a new mailing list: ind...@li... It is intended to be a high-volume list for bringing together all kinds of indic-computing practitioners: linguists, engineers, users, developers, to discuss various aspects and problems in indic-computing. Many of the recent workshop participants have been subscribed to that list. We will be posting complete proceedings and results documentation from the workshop onto that list in the next few days, and we expect some of the discussion from the conference to spill onto -users. Even if you couldnt join us in Bangalore, we hope you can join us in this virtual forum. -- Tapan ------------------------------------------ Tapan S.

Linux localisation work going on at IIT Kanpur http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/isciig/ Objective: Several Linux based Indian Language Technologies are being developed at IIT Kanpur. On this page, we provide information about these technologies. The technologies being developed are the following. iterm: Xwindow based terminal emulator that displays characters in all Indian Scripts as well as in English. Compatible with the rxvt program. The Indian Languages characters can be typed on the keyboard using INSCRIPT or roman phonetic layout. Works with all text based Unix utilities like vi, cat, more, ls etc. iscii2ps: This tool takes an Indian language text file (coded using character coding standards such as ISCII-8, Unicode, UTF-8) and generates the corresponding postscript output, which can be printed by any printer supported by ghostscript. isciilib: A C-library to handle ISCII coded text. isciiweb: Technology to display the ISCII coded text on the Linux based web-browsers. isciispell: Spell Checker for the ISCII-coded texts. Xiscii: Additions to the X-lib to support display and entry of the ISCII text. iconverter: Converts one code space to another code space. isort: sort the ISCII text file. iLaTeX: Convert Indian Languages .tex file to .dvi file Linux-ISCII Distribution: Linux distribution with support for application software in Indian languages.

You can also have a look at the files section of > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tamilinix/ [snip] hello Saravanan, thx for writin in...;) AFAIK.....none of the Personal Access Devices availble in the market today has a Memory Storage Footprint of nything more than 64MB of FLASH. So...unless one would suggest goin in for the IBM 1GB MicroDrive, it isn't a very interestin proposal to get KDE/Gnome runnin with local language support on these Devices. Instead....could i put the following points, nd u give me ur feedback as to if i am on the right track. --> Embedded QT could be a fairly good option, nd since QT is fairly easy to codein a lot of developers around the world have taken up to writing apps for QT. But as u would know better than me....localisation isn't very well built into QT as of now. --> Embedded GTK --> GTK 2.0 --> tiny-x --> Microwindows Out of the above....the only options that seem plausible to continue work on are Embedded QT and Embedded GTK(GTK-FB) / GTK2.0. I personally feel Embedded QT could be the winner here....wat say...??? UR earnest opinions are invited.

AFAIK, only the KDE and GNOME projects today have achieved any significant localization for indian languages --- and these are X based. I'm not sure how well these frameworks work on a handheld (if they work at all). E.g:- good user input mechanisms for handhelds are different from those suitable for "desktops". Most handhelds have a touch screen built in, so a localized gesture recognition interface built around a touch screen makes more sense than mimicing a regular "keyboard" using the limited screen estate available on these machines. In the open-source world, I'm aware of one gesture recognition package WayV [http://www.stressbunny.com/wayv/]. I haven't got around to studying it myself. I am not aware of any indian language gesture recognition tools in the open-source world or in the commercial segment. Regards, Koshy <jk...@fr...> |

If you're interested or know someone who may be interested, please spread the word: http://www.sharma-home.net/mailman/listinfo/kannada The immediate purpose of the list is to coordinate kannada translation activities for various desktop environments, but broader discussions are welcome. -Arun |
