Dear Swaroop, I appreciate for detailed information.  .I like to test on LiveCD of ubuntu (not installed on machine) Will you elaborate step by step to install baraha type software . First I shall download software from the website (website address please)  on  the  HDD  in Windows.  Then  with help of LiveCD I shall install the same and run test.  I trust  linux baraha software will work just like in Windows. I shall feedback.   I  should have done long  back but  delayed  due to concentration on generating datafiles of  Kannada (kannada is very complex script) and testing by using TesseractOCR - which 90% improved. .   <div>On 10/22/07, Dinbandhu <<a href="mailto:dinbandhu@sprynet.com">dinbandhu@sprynet.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Mon, 2007-10-22 at 07:59 +0530, 74yrs old wrote: > Whether Telugu and kannada display correctly in the latest version?

As per my experience, the character map for Indian languages works just fine in Ubuntu 7.04. Did you do the install of baraha for SCIM which we had set up a few months back? Now, I have only tested the Hindi version. But I can tell you that the character map for Hindi is perfect-- an exact mirror image of Baraha Windows. And once Gora and I got the Hindi version proper, then she applied that map to all the remaining Indian languages. And at that point, she requested on this very forum that all interested parties should please test the languages they know and give feedback. I am not aware that anyone came forward with feedback for those languages. If there are problems with the Kannada or Telugu versions, then that was the time you should have brought detailed report just as I had done with the Hindi. I am guessing that Kannada and Telugu as well as the rest of the maps should be mostly correct. There are probably a few small changes that need to be made, because of certain difference between Devanagari and these languages' alphabets. But it is not much difference. Why don't you come forward and do the work to check them? I do not know these languages otherwise I would have done it myself. But it is not the fault of Ubuntu 7.04. There is no such system problem at all. And the software is written. It only needs someone to carefully go through the map and point out the probably 7 or 8 simple corrections that need to be made. And then the work will be done-- permanently. For it will apply to all future versions of Ubuntu as well. In fact, I think SCIM works for all various Linux distributions. So why don't you come forward and test Kannada and Telugu and let us know exactly where the problems are--which letters are wrong--so the matter will be solved.
