Sir, To promotion worldwide there is serious need of localisation of Open Office. Developing countries like India needs complete solution as far as office automation is concern. It is essential to have a office suite on every machine. But due to hight cost of Softwares it is still beyond reach of common people.
The localisation of office suite doesnot means only changing the menus name into respective langauage but there certian issues to be sorted out. As you know now Indian languages are available in Unicode Character Set. But the problem in using unicode characters are that the typewriter layout are not available in most of the cases. So Government Sector, Big Institutions started buying the Microsoft Office Suites which comes with the facility of typewriter layout for unicode characters. I request you to kindly take into consideration the issues of availability of different layouts for the unicode characters. I am on my personal level working on this issue & got solution which enables users to type unicode characters by using typewriter layout. It is just like other non-unicode script manager available in Indian Market. Mahendra P Tribhuwan +91 9324068282
