 A list of most repeating words for GNOME is available as Gnome
glossary. I have put it up at
http://www.indlinux.org/downloads/gnomegloss/GnomeGlossary.pot . There
are about 900 words, of technical nature (or with special meaning when
used wrt computers )
 One person kiran kumar chava" <chavakk19 at rediffmail.com> (cced)
said he has translation of it on paper. He will be able to give more
feedback.

 Well, though my mother tongue is Telugu, I have very limited
vocabulary of it. But I could help in all other stuff - pushing around
people to take up this work actively, resolving the tech issues etc.

 Yes, I am aware of these dictionaries, I have been using the Hindi
one for Hindi translations.

 I will check it out & try to make a ps/pdf . I will also convert the
dictionary to utf-8, so that it can be opened in yudit ( & can be
printed into a ps from there ).
 One thing could you test Telugu support in yudit. Whether vattus &
vowel signs come properly on it.
