I am again confused. What is the difference between a LoCo and a Translation team? I have seen many teams such as "Ubuntu Tamil Team" in the list of LoCos. I thought both are same.
My primary aim is to start a LoCo, not an online translation team. I have people from my area who are interested to participate. We are planning to conduct real-world awareness programs, promotion campaigns, training for school children, demonstrations, etc. But we are also ready to undertake some of the localization activities. India is a large country and Indian states are comparable with countries in Europe. Each state has it's own regional language (except Hindi speaking states) and most of the states are as big as a typical European country (both in area and population). My plan is to set up a LoCo for Kerala state. The official policy of Kerala state government is to promote Linux and open softwares but due to the unwillingness of employees in government departments, they are still using proprietory Windows. If adequate awareness and training imparted, we can totally replace Windows with Ubuntu. We can tell them that Ubuntu is available in their own mother-tongue. There are many tools developed by http://smc.org.in, but common people are nowhere near using these tools due to the lack of basic knowledge in Linux. If we provide them a basic training and ensure continued assistance, they would feel confidence in trying Linux.
