The posts over the past few days and a TV advert for the Indian version of Linux named BOSS <http://www.bosslinux.in/> have prompted me to write this query.
Though i know a couple of Indian languages, i have used the computer only in English like most if not all on this list and computer users in India in general. Though i know Ubuntu and a lot of other Linux OS's support use of Indian languages, I frankly have no Idea how to use it and to what extent is it developed. What i would like to know is how (as in what packages to add, configs changes etc) can i have a completely Indian language (and english) driven desktop in either Hindi or Telugu. Something right from the login screen to icons to on screen messages to program help to typing support on a English keyboard to openoffice and whatever you can think of. Something that a literate (but not in english ) user be able to use. And from those that are already using it how easy, intuitive it is and how accurate are the translations. At some point may be help in the translations once i am comfortable typing in hindi. I have seen quite a few programs lacking indian translations. Your advice will be sincerely appreciated.
