Dear Jagadish,
If improving Health and medicine related content in Kannada WP is the objective, one could look at the translating articles from WikiProject Medicine. See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine .
It has some really good articles and one can start right away (no need to wait for any permission) :)
Cheers, Vishnu

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.

Or better still, get WHO to release their knowledge base in Creative Commons or similar license.
In any case, this is off-topic on a Wikimedia mailing list.

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.

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.
