If anyone interested in creating localized maps for Wikipedia, please come over for the openstreetmap community meetup this Sunday in Indiranagar. We will do some locality mapping and experiment with rendering Kannada maps. No prior experience required.

Arun,
I spotted this email just now. This is a good initiative.
Let me know if I can be of help, working online.
And specifically for Kannada, it may be worthwhile to consider doing this in Basavanagudi or Rajajinagar area (you'll find plenty of Kannadigas around who'd love to participate).
Cheers,

We had a very productive afternoon mapping the neighborhood in detail with house numbers. End result is here: http://osm.org/go/yy4fNiLdA-
Also shared details with Arjuna on how we can export maps into Wikipedia using svg or with GIS tools.
By evening we had the Kannada Indiranagar streetmap! : http://yogiks.github.io/osm-kn/map/ Details: http://yogiks.github.io/osm-kn/
Would love to do it in other parts of the city if you can organize a venue to meet.
Cheers,

Awesome. They look great.
Others, We can probably automate the translation (transliteration). I have done this for film/song/artist names, it was quite accurate. Is there a way to update the OSM using an API with translated values? Never tried and hence asking.

Technically its possible, however we don't need the tranlations in OSM itself to generate localized maps. If we have a dictionary of english names and local equivalent, we can even do a database join before passing the data to the rendering engine.
This is something we should discuss on the OSM India list: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

Again, good work!
I would love to help organizing venues for this. Kindly connect with me over phone to discuss this.
