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

[Bharateeya-OpenOffice <bha...@nc...>]

Hi,

  Thanks for the feedback. About the Hindi version on Windows, although
the translation is complete, there was some more localization work
involved for the binary that had been uploaded. It is complete now, and we
will be uploading the new and complete binary.

  As for the translations, we have the Glossary we have used for Hindi
translations uploaded on our website. Maybe you can help us by reviewing
it and suggesting changes which can make the translations more simple and
standardized.

Thank you,

BharateeyaOO.o Team
