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.
