After the availability of Microsoft Office in Hindi, it's time for Windows XP to be released with a Hindi interface.

According to Rajiv Kaul, Managing Director, Microsoft Corporation, "Windows and Office in Hindi, will together improve accessibility of information technology for a broader section of society, helping bridge the digital divide. ''

Titled "Project Bhasha", Microsoft have also developed a website to help spread the message, and cater to the needs of the developer.

Linux support for local languages have also been under development for some time now. IndLinux is currently looking for volunteers. You don't really need to be tech-savvy to be of help :) Tamillinux is another associated project that's been receiving attention.
