> As Kevin said, you must "translate" PO files into (binary) MO files.
> msgfmt utility (from gettext package) might be used to do that:
>
> $ msgfmt -o file.mo file.po
>
> Then, MO files should be put into
> /usr/share/locale/ta/LC_MESSAGES/
> directory.
>
> Additionally, you need
> /usr/share/locale/ta/entry.desktop
> file. Without it, you won't be able to pick up Tamil from list of
> existing languages. Simplified file content is below:
>
> [KCM Locale]
> Name=Tamil
> Name[ta]=Tamil in Tamil
>
>
> On my system, localization files are owned by user root, group root, and
> have 644 permissions.

> Hope that helps
