Hindi is one of the oldest language or can be said as the direct decedent of the oldest language, Sanskrit. Recently we covered Sanskrit Voice, a website for sanskrit language. Here I am writing about the Government of India initiative for ease of computer related use of Hindi. And the best thing about it is that it is open source. One can go to Technology Development for Indian Language website and down load most of the tools. And if you are residing anywhere in India then you can submit the form for getting a free CD. I got my CD today, though I filled form some two months back, and this is only gory point.
These are the things which they will be sending you...
Browser is our very own firefox, I havent checked which version it is, but most probably it won't be 2.0. But still if you have some one who is not well versed in english and you still want that they must use computer then you must get the CD. Other tools are also very nice and are working properly, without any bugs.
So if you want to Indianise your PC then you must get them as soon as possible.
And not only Hindi there are softwares for two other languages, that is Tamil and Telugu.
But other most prominent this which was there in background was that Indian government is trying to promote Linux OS in a sublime manner.
One fact which still stands that computer in a nation like India is still limited to educated class not because of the price factor but due to language factor. Government should try to join hands with Google to bring up online translation tool based on Google Translation.
