Fw: [libreoffice-l10n] New Language teams for Libre Office (Indian languages)

Hi Michael.




I am representing an organization named Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) based 
in Pune, India. You might want to take a look at   http://www.cdac.in/gist for more information 
about my organization. C-DAC is an autonomous scientific society under Ministry of Communications 
and Information Technology, Govt. of India.


As i had mentioned in my earlier email, there is a team up here which has been dealing with 
translation and localization of various free and open source softwares for quite some time now. 
C-DAC felt that it is better to join the main community by contributing this work of translation 
which C-DAC team has already done. Hence this request of additing so many Indian languages on to 
translation platform (pootle). I am ready to coordinate for requested languages untill someone else 
joins any of these language teams. The moment some one joins these languages, and is confident of 
taking up these tasks, i will make myself free from those languages and contribute to other aspects 
of the project. :)


I dont speak all of these languages. I know only from Marathi and Hindi.



Regards,
Chandrakant Dhutadmal,
C-DAC, Pune, India.

Ah I wasn't aware of that. Maybe we need a warning on the mailing list page

Ok. If I wanted to become a pootle
 admin for LO, who should I talk to do 
you reckon?

For Santali, yes. I believe Chandra is part of a bigger group and asked 
for access to quite a lot of dormant locales. I'm pasting my original 
response to him so you can see which languages he was asking about. So I 
believe Urdu and Santali aside, Chandra's questions haven't been fully 
answered.

Chandra, it might help if you tell us a little about your team? Is it a 
team or organization you represent? I'm guessing you don't speak all 
these yourself?
