Dear All,
I am Jagadesha NH from South Asian University, i work in the filed of Text Analytic's and Text Mining. I was wondering how helpful it would be if we can translate WHO(http://www.who.int/en/) website in to Kannada. Due to the increase in number of Mobile Internet users it would be helpful we can translate this site and can spread across many rural people who can get information on many things like family planning and etc.
Sounds like a good initiative to take up.
However, you should write to WHO and request their permissions first to translate as they hold the copyright to the text.
Cheers,

Or better still, get WHO to release their knowledge base in Creative Commons or similar license.

Dear Hari,
I have already written a mail to WHO regarding this, i am just waiting for their response. Yes Hari you are true this is a good initiative because they have a good knowledge base regarding the health issues and concerns being Kannadigas we should contribute something to our state, lets do it. Just waiting for a positive response from WHO.
Thanks for your reply.
