Ubuntu Transliterated to Telugu
A good deal of technology is well present to support Telugu on GNU/Linux. Most people don’t know this or don’t have an idea of how much support there is or don’t know how to use it. Keeping this in mind, we cooked up a transliterated version of Ubuntu in Telugu. This could also be a platform for poeple to work on translations with out worrying about setting up their machines for translations.
Chaitanya and Manish (my team mates now) did most of the work. Well, today we finished working on it. Essentially, from a english phonetic word list we obtained the sounds for most of english words and immediately transliterated them to Telugu. For the rest of the words like proper nouns etc. we used the RTS scheme for transliteration. In the end, the output is not so bad. It is mostly readable. I will be posting screenshots soon.
