Hi Arjuna,

Thank you, Arjuna.  This is the good stuff.

I would recommend increasing the size of the text-box for input after the selection of the language and script.  Also, most users at public kiosks are more likely to use phonetic input rather than inscript.

Yours sincerely,

Shiju,

Thanks for the excellent  feedback.
I just came up with this  as I have not actively worked "hands on" for a long long time.

Looking for people to collaborate and take this further.

Cheers
Arjun

Arjuna,

This is good. Thanks for this. .

Hope the devide will be devoid of all rendering issues especially for the languages like Oriya.

I have few suggestions
  1. Support for languages like Assamese/Punjabi is very much required.
  2. The inscript keyboard option should be there for all the languages.
  3. Let the user select the language name first, the keyboad option can be given (phonetic/inscript) in the next screen.
  4. A better user interface can be provided for the homepage.

Hope soon someone will develop a device for this. Supporting all the Indian language scripts without any rendering issues will be a challenge. May be we may need to try the web font embedding technology.

Arjuna,

Just test drove the site. I think this is a great beginning in letting people access sites and query wikimedia content in Indian languages without having to worry about having to configure a language specific keyboard on a given PC.

It would be great if you could also link to all the Wikimedia sites in that language after the screen key board is chosen.

regards
Arun
