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

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 :)
