Dear Sir, Thank you very much for the quick reply. I like UX stuff basically and that's why I am very interested in this project. I am trying to get familiarized with the translator, so that I can come up with better suggestions for improvements. I would be very much glad if you can enable Sinhalese support for me to experience the translator further.
I shall follow your instructions and report once done or if I have any problem. Thank you. Best regards, Nanduni.
