Linux Localization And E-governance

Posted by Hemos on from the using-it-in-the-best-way-possible dept.

BhondaiPola writes "The Telegraph has an interesting article about the works of a Bengali Linux localization group. The article speaks of the potential areas in which localization can be implemented, especially, E-governance. Most of the stuff is known to us, but the article should serve as a nice introductory article for anyone new to the issue. And I liked the screenshots of the localized GNOME in the website of the group."

  1. Gnome i18n is great by leoboiko · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Internationalization was the major reason that made me switch to Gnome.

    Thanks to im-ja I can switch freely between European (Brazilian Portuguese) and Japanese input in any GTK app, something I could do only in Emacs. Gnome-terminal can work with any encoding and switch them at runtime.
