[Tapan S. P. <ta...@ya...>]

Check it out - the GNOME Malayalam Dev site, which I think is being
done by FSF in assoc. w/ Govt of Kerala.  Is there any overlapping
work that can be shared btwn this effort and either IndLinux or Indix?

I think the best thing we can do is develop GPLed
OpenType fonts for indic languages and And 
Input methods based on XIM or IIIMF
More discussions on this issue cann't do anything.
I think FSF India will be ready to co-orporate with
us. The co-ordinator of the project, which you mentioned
below will come to the workshop you are arranging at
Bangalore. Talk with him.

(Because of some personal difficulties, I cannot come there
 for the workshop)

Another possible area is that Karunakar who is currently working on
Gnome Translations can share his work with them, and also vice versa.

It would be weird if the basic UI terms varied very widely between the
Indic languages...

Maybe this is a documentation section we should add to the web
site....

Please send the hindi basic UI terms to me.
So that we can compare the basic UI terms.
Its very urget, we are about to start our GNOME 2
translation work.

BTW, Karunakar, Did you used GTranslator for 
your translations. Now it seems difficult to 
translate the strings. Next week onwards
our group will start translating GNOME 2.0.1
I got compiled GNOME 2.0.0 now, everything is
ok now, But only anti-aliasing feature is
working for chillus(It makes use ZWJ), other
wise chillu is not rendering.
what will be the problem? Do you have Pango XFT
module for Hindi?

Regards,
Baiju M

 The translation of Gnome glossary is in progress, but you can get
translated po file from
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/status/gnome-2.0-core/hi.html
 I will put up a po compendium up in few days.

I use testtext/gedit, translators are using yudit, gtranslator is
being ported to gnome 2,
It will be ready in couple of weeks.

 Ok, will check this out mail me some sample text.
 Right now I have three testbeds,  RH 7.2 with ximian gnome snapshots,
Redhat 7.3.93 beta (limbo) this has pango indic xft support & is used
by default. already a third beta (null) is out started downloading
that. A LFS setup, with gnome 2 compiled.

Karunakar

 This is also an area which needs standardization ( terminology ).
Some work seems to have been done at TDIL but its not accessible. The
idea now is to get a rough translation done, which can be debated &
modified later.

Right now working for translations for Gnome 2.0.2 release sched on
6th Sep. A translators guidelines is also in writing, this will be
useful for any language.
