Dear Rajkumar,
Thanks for you interest in the Mozilla Localisation Project.

Currently we are working in the Translation of the Mozilla UI in
Hindi. There are four volunteers (including me) working on the
translation.

Mozilla have unicode based support for theIndian script. However the
rendering of the Devanagiri is not proper in the Win32 version of the
Mozilla. I have filled a bug report on bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166520). I am not aware
of the support for other Indic scripts as I did not test them.

Currenty, mozilla pages are hosted on
http://www.bttlindia.com/mozilla/ with a partly translated language
pack for Hindi.

I would be glad to contribute in the co-ordinations as I feel, Indian
languages spoken by billions deserve a place in computing.

Regards,

Raj Saini

hello,

I got your call for volunteers from the netscape.public.mozilla.i18n news
group. I am interested in helping you. Can you please tell me what are you
now currently working on? What is the state of an opentype renderer for
Indic scripts in mozilla?
Last week there was a workshop on Indic computing at Bangalore, and
amongst others one of the major tasks that was identified is to co -
ordinate the various efforts that are happening around the world so as to
make efficient use of the available resources. Please see the site of
Indic computing project at http://indic-computing.sourceforge.net/.
