Hi all,

    All are thinking for a  big  project, its  good. but what we are  looking 
for  making  operating system  in to Malayalam ...  its a  very  big  project.

   And I don't thing we should look  a  bigger project  in beginning. I had a 
plan   to make  open-office  in to Malayalam. I was working for this ..  but  
unfortunate  I unable to complete  it because  I was  not know  Malayalam. 

   the main challenge is user interface localization which consists of manually 
translating 21,000 strings from English to Malayalam. and  for this  I find  
non -computer  people also  may help us.

if you people are  looking for this  project  Please let me know.

Malayalam Linux distribution : applications with menus in malayalam ?
: entire desktop in malayalam ?


The first step, I think, is to make fonts.
Just started reading documents about fonts. Could not grasp the
differences between ttf otf (afm tfm) etc. Can some body explain
it recomment a good starting point.

Hi all,

I think that was a good suggestion made by Dhirendra. After all, is that so
necessary for us to have a linux distribution in Malyalam. Is there a person in
Kerala who knows how to use Linux having good knowledge in computers and
doesn't know English. But yeah the openoffice in Malayalam I believe can do
some good work.

Thanks and Regards
