Hi Friends,
You may have seen the press release of canonical announcing support for 10
Indian languages

I am glad to report the release of Ubuntu User Guide(e-book) in Telugu with
content from Telugu wikibooks.
Content from wikibooks* *was imported using* Open document format* import
feature of print/export feature and the layout was done using Libreoffice
3.3.
Having the source content in Wikibooks makes the content searchable on
internet and the e-book serves to access the content in a book form.. You
can see my blog post in Telugu with links to e-book and screenshots.

I feel the popularity of Wikipedia in local languages will be closely to
tied to use of computer in native language. I would like to see efforts
from other language Wikipedians and FOSS enthusiasts and would be interested
in collaborative efforts in this direction.
Cheers
