Why India is struggling with localized language computing
While IT is improving the quality of life in many developed nations, the use of technology is still out of reach for people in many other countries. Nowhere is this digital divide as big or visible than in India. Apart from access to a computer, unfamiliarity with the English language is one of the biggest factors contributing to this problem. In countries like India, where the majority of the population is English-illiterate, computing has to speak a language the locals understand. This is where user-interface localization steps in.
A well written article by Mayank Sharma, about the reasons behind the struggles of localization in India, current efforts and the steps needed to improve the situation.
