hello,<br>i am realy happy to see the response! :):)<br>its usually hard to find such response for a novice student trying to do something...</blockquote><div> </div>Let me correct you. When it comes to Open Source and Kannada there will be a flood of responses!!! These Open source people are very friendly and will be eager to help the new-comers always.

with regard to coding i m still on the back foot!!! :(:( i havent developed any application as such...</blockquote><div><br>Mark my words: "Localization hardly needs any coding!". Technical part has already been taken care by the application developers and we just need to do translations. That's all !!!

well by the last sentence i dunno what i was thinking when i wrote! (please pardon)..</blockquote><div><br>It's OK. I just wanted to know whether you are interested in maintaining our <a href="http://kn.l10n.kde.org">kn.l10n.kde.org
</a> site when you said "doing something in the front". <br><br>One question: "How often you use Linux? Especially KDE??"<br><br>As we are translating KDE applications, please make yourself familiar with KDE applications. This will bring quality in the translations you do.
<br><br>Should you face any troubles in understanding KDE localization concepts, using KBabel etc. please feel free to discuss them with us through this mailing list.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Siddharudh<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</a>><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"<br><br>Hello Akshay,<br><br>It's great to have you here!<br><br>Localization mainly consists of Translation work. All the GUI messages,<br>documentations etc. should be translated to the local language. Please read
<br>Chapter 3 of "KDE Translation HOWTO"
(<br><a href="http://l10n.kde.org/docs/translation-howto/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://l10n.kde.org/docs/translation-howto/</a>) to understand the basics of GUI<br>Translation (Don't worry about SVN while reading this.).
<br><br>We use a tool called KBabel for our translation work. Please make yourself<br>comfortable with that (<a href="http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdesdk/kbabel/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdesdk/kbabel/</a>).<br>There are few nice things about KBabel (like Catalog manager, Dictionary<br>etc) which will help you a lot as a translator.<br><br>We have a website which is completely dedicated for KDE localization work to
<br>Kannada (see <a href="http://kn.l10n.kde.org/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://kn.l10n.kde.org/</a>). Nothing much has been put up there.<br>You can contribute here if you wish to.
<br><br>Lastly, I didn't understand what you mean by "i wud be glad to do something<br>in the front!". Please let us know about your interests so that we can give<br>you something that you would love to do.<br><br>
We would like to hear from you more about yourself, your interests etc.<br><br>Once again, a hearty welcome to you to the localization
initiative.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Siddharudh P T<br><br>On 29 Oct 2006 18:30:08 -0000, akshay j rao wrote:<br>><br>> hi,<br>> i am akshay, a student of BMSCE, Bangalore,<br>> i am interested in taking part in the localisation activities,
