Re: Localized software to be given away for free in India
Interesting quotes:
<<<Raman: The project was started by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, and C-DAC was given the responsibility to do all the work for it. The starting point of this initiative is that people in India prefer to use their own language for computing.>>>
<<<Raman: A Punjabi version will be out by the end July or mid-August. Then we will have a Bengali language version. We are targeting all 22 languages in India, though to start with our focus is on the 11 languages that are used very extensively in computing.>>>
