[Kde-l10n-kn] Kannada will be supported in KDE 4.2.0 !!

[Umesh Rudrapatna]

Dear Shankar,
Its nice to know that we have at last managed the numbers. Sorry for
my late response. I was away in India for a month for my wedding and
returned about 10 days ago. I could not reply earlier, since I had
loads of mails pending. Thanks for taking us to the magic number.
However, as everybody recognizes, these translations have been made
over a vast stretch of time (about 2 years). Though we did make some
standards for the translations, some earlier translations might still
be lurking around. The next step I feel should be to improve on the
quality of the translations and I personally would prefer
consolidating on this front first than going further in translations.
However, if Siddharudh and Mahesha are jumping in, you people sit and
decide about it. Also, I wont be able to do any translations, at least
till April end (if I can, I too will jump in). However, if I can get
my wife interested in it (she too has decent linguistic abilities),
she may do something from Feb end. Lets see. Till then, all the best
from my side.
sigONa,
umesh
