[Wikimediaindia-l] Indic has arrived! -- on devices !!

[Srikanth Lakshmanan]

Hi all,

It was a almost a unimaginable surprise when I heard a Samsung camera has a
Tamil interface! See pic[1]. It is important milestone when Indic is
starting to reach beyond computers, mobiles. While this also reinforces the
Indic growth theory(not just wikimedia in non-profit space, even for
business in for-profit space), it also means more work for those who are
working on Indic space (translation, content creation,technology). Their
work will directly or indirectly reach more people outside wikimedia
projects. Projects like wiktionary will be source for many languages which
might not have any other largest source of vocabulary elsewhere. I would
not be surprised if in future translations for real world things are done
openly through projects like translatewiki :)
