on to make an edit within 10 days. It was surprising to see that Hindi Wikipedia had a very different rate that some other projects >(see below). Can anyone share an explanation?
I doubt there is any one explanation but I wonder how many of them give up and go home when they realise the difficulties, for a new user, of Hindi (and other Indic) language input systems and the maze of options that exist. Also, anecdotally, most Indian publishing workflows and print shops do not use Unicode encodings for text either.
I'm sure there are more data points that just this?
Thank you.
