[Indic-computing-devel] Microsoft Localisation

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

Just a quick note to tell you guys that Venky and I met the head of
localisation efforts in India for Microsoft yesterday.  Great guy, very
open to collaboration and discussion.  Ive invited him and his technical
staff to join our lists.  One really great thing I think they will be able
to contribute is that they have been building a Hindi lexicon for interface
terms, in collaboration w/ several local companies in India.  If they share
this with us it would be a big help for app developers to use common terms
in our interfaces w/ those in MS, which as we all know, will be very
important in the long term.

Im sure other good technical interactions will arise also, as Im sure we
are all interested in how MS is approaching localisation.  Lets hope they
join and get active.
