[School-GNU-Linux] Debian Installer malayalam translation status update

Debian Malayalam updates

We have crossed 50% (57.68% to be exact) translation of Debian Installer
into Malayalam  ( http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Debian/മലയാളം/ഇന്സ്റ്റാളര്‍; ).
Thanks a lot to all involved in this. We still have much more to do. We are
looking for people who are willing to help us.

How can I help?

Translation is one of the easiest ways to start contributing to Free
Software, you don't require any technical skills, just the basic language
skills are sufficient.

* Help us translate more strings, more translators => More strings
translated http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Debian/
മലയാളം/ഇന്സ്റ്റാളര്‍/ലെവല്‍1/മാസ്റ്റര്‍/ml.po
* Help us review the strings which we already translated (more eye balls)
for
 * Correctness of each word translated
 * Structure of sentence
 * overall feel
 * Follow the same translation for same straings (especially since many
people are translating and each may give a different translation  for the
same word)
* Help us in building a glossary of technical terms so that we have uniform
translations every where. http://ml.wiktionary.org/wiki/സാങ്കേതിക_പദനിഘണ്ടു;
 * Review each word already in the glossary
 * Add those words which are already used in translation but not in the
glossary to the glossary
 * Make sure the translation follows the glossary as close as possible
* Help us with issues with fonts, input methods and rendering
 * Expand the documentation available in setting up a Malayalam computing
environment http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/മലയാളം/സഹായം;
 * Help us fix Pango see Suruma, review, evaluate the patch and incorporate
upstream http://suruma.sarovar.org/
 * Help us implement searching, sorting and spell checking.
 * If you are an artist or know someone who draw nicely help us build more
Unicode Free Fonts in Malayalam
