Sayamindu, ind...@li... is the indic-computing development mailing list. Maybe you would get an answer there. I remember seeing something about this. Maybe at tdil web site: http://tdil.mit.gov.in. Also, my uncle has a phone where he can SMS in Gujarati. Has anyone see this?

hi,
i had asked the the kolkata LUG and, a guy from the ISI replied thus
Hi Sayamindu,
There is a project ( probably sponsored by Ministry of Defence ) for
developing software for "Indian Language Computation".
I dont know how much that pertains to linux. Moreover probably its
going
to proprietary ( owned by govt. ).
Anything specific that you want to know about it ?
Sourangshu

The relative speed of a computer, regardless of CPU architecture, is
inversely
proportional to the number of Microsoft products installed.

AFAIK, you have to send transliterated message in English to a number and they will then send SMS in Gujarati to the recipient. For example, to send an SMS in Hindi, you have to send Aap Kaise Ho? to some number and then service provider will convert it into Hindi message and forward it. - Keyur __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sometimes I wonder how much transliteration damages the language. Clearly somewhat because it is pretty ugly-looking compared to our own letters. But for a certail level of users you have to admit the point does get across. But clearly that cannot be the final solution... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keyur Shroff" <key...@ya...> To: <ind...@li...> Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 10:30 AM Subject: Re: [Indic-computing-devel] SMS (was: ISI kolkata developing indic language software??) > Hi, > > --- "Tapan S.

Transliteration certainly can not be the the final and satisfactory solution. I have come across atleast 3 transliteration methods for Indian languages. Many more may be there which I am not aware of and few more may come in future :-( For any method to get accepted widely, there should be consensus in the community. Different people are confortable with different input methods. And this is understandable in a country like India where there are millions of people. And finally, in this englishmen leading world, you can't ignore English totally. English has become an international language and to cope with this competitive world one has to learn English. But truly, it does not (and can not) represent all languages in this world. - Keyur > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Keyur Shroff" <key...@ya...> > To: <ind...@li...> > Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 10:30 AM > Subject: Re: [Indic-computing-devel] SMS (was: ISI kolkata developing > indic language software??) > > > > Hi, > > > > --- "Tapan S.

Are there no Indian keyboards? Looks like there is market now. Transliteration cannot be the future. -Ajay > AFAIK, you have to send transliterated message in English to a number and > they will then send SMS in Gujarati to the recipient. > > For example, to send an SMS in Hindi, you have to send > Aap Kaise Ho? > > to some number and then service provider will convert it into Hindi message > and forward it. > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
