[Kde-l10n-kn] Regarding kannada localization in KDE

[shankar prasad]

Hi Suchendra,

If you see a partially translated or untranslated applications, then it
means it is either translated partially or not at all translated.

KDE Kannada community is dormant since couple years. What ever you see now
is the work done till 2013 or earlier.

If you want to restart, you are more than welcome and I can assist you.

Regards
