Re: [Indic-computing-users] Indian Localization of OpenOffice.org

[Ravikant <rav...@sa...>]

Dear bharateeyOO team

I did download the hindi version on my windows desktop. It seems somebody has 
translated from the german version. And it is still partial, only a 
beginning. A lot of work is yet to be done. I have also been trying to work 
on translation of OO and i can send you the alternative translations of 
certain terms. why is the translation team following a sanskritized 
vocabulary? It sounds more difficult than the original english. let us put 
our heads together and come up with more creative translations. This is after 
having conceded that it is by no means easy.

Cheers
ravikant
