LAKapps

LAKapps is a project of localizing Open Source applications in Sri Lankan local languages viz Tamil and Sinhala. I am in the core team.
We are doing various projects and the project that we started are successfully done till now. Thats a great thing I suppose.

We have localized following FOSS into Tamil :
Joomla!
Moodle
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Thunderbird
Squirrel Mail
Horde
GeoGebra

Also we localized following into Sinhala :
Mozilla Thunderbird
Horde
GeoGebra

We also prepared user manuals for all the software that we localized. And other than that we prepared Video training for Joomla! and Open Office.

Next 2nd september 2009 LAKapps is going to organize a Symposium on Local Language Application and Systems.

Sir,
If we are interested, how can we contribute to localization via this project?

Keheliya,

Of course you can. You can participate on projects, there are students who are involving now too.

Even for your 3rd year project you can do a project in Localization. Please meet Gihan sir and tell that you have interests or meet me.
