Hi Dhaval,
I understand your concerns. As you know the decision on new wikis is taken
by language committee.
I will forward your request and concerns regarding this to
language committee keeping some of you in cc.

Hi Shiju,
Thanks for your respinse. I had conveyed in past on the request
discussion that many of these 2000 messages are technical terms, and we
won't like to have them simply transliterated. At the same point, there
is
no use of translating them with some allien terms which noone would
und3rstand.
Community was once very active on wikisource, but because of this
stringent requirement, as when the project couldn't move ahead with
sub-domain creation, they lost interest.
Isn't there anyway where we can get waiver of this requirement to have
all those messages translated? You can see that most frequently used
messages are translated anyways.
Will really appreciate if you could help in this matter. As Gujarati
community is active on wikipedia, it won't be much hard to get wikisource
going either.
Looking forward for your and chapter's help.
Kind Regards,
Dhaval
