FUEL is something I was looking for. A Standardized repository of commonly used words. I found Glosbe.com to be very handy as it searches in KDE repository for the results, I feel FUEL and Glosbe would serve the purpose for me. I only concern with FUEL is that the glossary is in pdf. Seriously? I know .ods and .po files are also present but storing this glossary on a webpage(read html format) would be handy. Thanks, Anand. ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List

Put a request to the FUEL folks to provide a HTML format and that should be trivial to do. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay https://twitter.com/#!/sankarshan ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks, Anand Restart should in realty be पुनश्च हरिः ॐ but in between different states of India people will differ whether it should be ॐ or ओ३म् Hence that is currently in the state what probably appears to be state of despair or dis-repair ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List

Anand, 1) If you are in Pune/Mumbai try contacting the local CDAC offices. 2) If you are not in proximity of these cities, try CDAC's websites, especially their sections on GIST and FUEL. I think the second one (fuel) may have a separate website and they are dedicated to localisation. 3) You can make your computer dual-boot and install Hindi/Marathi versions of Gnu-Linux running GNOME localisation of Hindi/Marathi or KDE localisation of Hindi/Marathi. They have pretty matured/professional levels of localisations. Maybe Karunakar would like to comment here ? thanks and cheers, shyam ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
