Announcing OpenOffice Localization for Nepali Language: The Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya (MPP) [www.mpp.org.np] is the principal archive of books and periodicals in the Nepali language, the mother tongue (or lingua franca) of a little over 30 million people of South Asia. The Library is a not-for profit, non-governmental institution of 45 years standing, a respected repository of Nepali language and literature. It manages the largest archive in the Nepali language, and supports the use of Nepali for the social, economic and cultural advancement of all Nepali. MPP has been involved in Nepali Localization for the past few years with support from and in collaboration with Ministry of Science and Technology (Government of Nepal), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and UNESCO. Currently, MPP is undertaking the Nepal component of the PAN Localization Project (www.PANL10N.net). As part of the project,MPP will be developing NepaLinux (a Nepali Linux Distribution) in which Open-Office will be incorporated. We plan to completely localize Open-Office for NepaLinux
