For SVG translation, use this tool: http://toolserver.org/~jarry/svgtranslate/
My suggestion would be, let the respective language community do the translation. Transliteration may not work work all the time.
Hi
I have done a plain google transliteration for India and Kerala maps to hi,kn,sa which is created by Rajesh Odayanchal(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rajeshodayanchal) using a tool http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2.5.1/editor/svg-editor.html
This maps were created as a part of Malayalam mapping project.
If it needs some correction; can you please help ?
Thanks,

per se, mean there is no copyright. Copyright is presumed to be
granted the moment it has been created.
I was drawing the attention of the list to the fact that the government people, who claim copyright for everything the government publishes, despite the fact that some of it is commons, are also ether slipshod in the manner in which they claim the copyright, or being forthright about the fact that some of it, possibly the data itself, is not intended to be copyrighted.Now, the disclaimer wording brought to our attention by Abhilash also mentions that not everything in the site is copyright, one must look at individual listings within in order to see if copyright is claimed therein.Naveen would do well to check that the information he wants to scrape in order to create his maps is specifically copyrighted, as otherwise it is clearly free-to-use, and the copyright disclaimer is very specific about this freedom._______________________________________________
