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
.
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

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.
