The environment for localization and unicodification is best handled by government agencies like the Government. That way, it gears the required momentum and at the same time would be sustainable.
We cannot expect general engineers to be experts of localization and the local language. There is a separate domain - the language engineering domain and language engineers and\or computational linguists should be the ones who would be the right persons to take this up. Definitely, localization is the way to go for bridging the digital divide caused by the language barrier English but it might be a good idea to introduce a fully localized OS in Nepali or other relevant local language in the first place itself rather than switching from English to Nepali.
