hi rajkumar,

That's great. Actually, we are not doing localization yet but
concentrating on internationalization. We at Sun are contributing to
multiple open-source projects for indian languages:

A> Mozilla
B> OpenOffice
C> XIM/IIIM (Input method)
D> X11/Gnome

We have completed indian language enabling on most of the
above-mentioned. If you can help with localization, that would be well
appreciated. Let me know what you do and how you can help.
