Hi Sumana,

I have reviewed Gujarati CAPTCHA images for Gujarati and have provided my
comments to Nemo on Mediawiki-i18n list.

There are some problems with spellings in those captcha, where matras are
not correctly displayed, which makes it impossible for user to judge the
word. Also lets think for once that it is fixed, but 99% users don't have
standalone Gujarati keyboard to type. We depend on wiki's typing solutions
(e.g. Narayam and ULS) to type. So, the best is to use CAPTCHA in English
only on Gujarati wikis.
