Thanks for the initiative. I would be happy to offer any help, I can, as a native speaker of Tamil. Your translated sentence does convey 'some' meaning but it could be rephrased to be more simplistic. It would help if you could please post the corresponding English text. It's a shame on me to say this but this is reality: I know it is possible to mail, blog, etc in Tamil but I haven't made any attempts until now: for example, how to type in Tamil using a regular QWERTY keyboard layout? Anyway, that's my problem and I will fix it. -- regards Ramanathan
