Hi Friends, You may have seen the press release of canonical announcing support for 10 Indian languages http://www.andhrabuzz.com/viewnews.php?newsid=ubuntu_operating_system_now_in_telugu_16920&category=Technology I would like to acknowledge the support of Ubuntu, Debian, Document foundation and Telugu computing (Telugu Padam mailing list) contributors for this milestone. I would like to name specifically Christian PERRIER (Debian) and David Planella and Colin Watson (Ubuntu) and Andras Timar (Document foundation) for their timely help in supporting Localisation initiative. I also thank Prakash Advani for help with PR. I acknowledge the contribution of Ubuntu Telugu localisation team with special thanks to Pravin Illa who contributed a large share of the translations in Ubuntu launchpad. I am glad to report the release of Ubuntu User Guide(e-book) in Telugu with content from Telugu wikibooks. Content from wikibooks was imported using Open document format import feature of print/export feature and the layout was done using Libreoffice 3.3. Having the source content in Wikibooks makes the content searchable on Internet and the e-book serves to access the content in a book form.. You can see my blog post in Telugu with links to e-book and screenshots used in the e-book. http://teluginux.blogspot.com/2011/04/blog-post.html Telugu wikibook root page: http://tinyurl.com/3ff2wf8 I feel the popularity of Web in local languages will be closely to tied to use of computer in native language. I would like to see efforts from other language computing and FOSS enthusiasts and would be interested in collaborative efforts in this direction.
