Hi,

I did some testing on how the recently released Android ICS supports Indic
languages.

*Tamil, Bengali, Marathi and Hindi are the only Indian languages supported
for now*. Oh ya, it can also show English well without a problem ;)

You can view the findings in details at

Screen shots with description can be found at

I could not view the web fonts in Kannada, Telugu Wikipedias as Gerard has
indicated at

Please let me know if I have to configure anything.

One major To Do for all Indic Wiki projects:

The mobile version homepage of most of the Indic Wikipedias is not showing
anything except the search box. Please configure this well. You can see
ta.m.wikipedia.org for example.

Ravi
