[ubuntu-in] How do i go about translating ubuntu documentation into a regional language?

[Sri ranga]

Hi,
I agree with your views.  Still I am searching software  phonetic tool for
kannada in ubuntu that is why. why I pointed out feature available in
MSwindows
Reason:  In XP with help of phonetic input tool, I can type
Kannadalanguage easily -
whereas in Ubuntu, unfortunately there is no phonetic (except inscript and
KGP) whereas in other few of languages like  Hindi has phonetic feature.
For me, Phonetic is very easy
(without training or practice) just like BARAHA whereas inscript or KGP are
difficult-which require dedicated practice!!   You can test/compare
yourself  in Phonetic typewriter layout  with  inscript typewriter layout.
I would more happy if  Ubuntu had installed phonetic keyboad layout with
conversion feature for all Indian languages  similar to  baraha or MS
phonetic input tool.  Whenever I want to type Kannada or Telugu I use
MSwindows  where phonetic- conversion feature are  available, till the date
similar Phonetic feature are available/introduced in UbuntuOS
Moreover  Indian languages can be trained in phonetic (in english) to
convert scanned text into editable indian languages - ofcourse with few
errors.
regards
.
