> @Jayadevan, I feel that the idea of having different localisations like
> different skins spoils the very idea of a centralised localisation for
> Malayalam. From what I know we now have a common interface(with same
> localisation) for different linux distributions as we're carrying out the
> translations of the UI at the source itself, wherever possible, i.e, at KDE
> or GNOME. In that way users won't find it difficult to start using new
> OS(maybe a more user-friendly one).
> The whole thing is about standardisation. I feel that this concept like
> skinning if done will become a step backward from standardisation. With
> standardisation only we can get more acceptance. And when it comes to more
> common things such as helping other users such a standardised UI will help,
> whereas a skinned one will create confusions.
> Like *XML* files in web technology for UI localisation in regular
> applications, we use *POT*(Portable Object Template). Its not in
> hard-coded format. For every localised program there exists a *pot* file
> in which the corresponding translated UI strings are stored. the user just
> has to download it and use it. And for common users it can be packaged with
> the software itself so that the user will be getting the localised UI from
> day one. If a certain user fancies to have another string in lieu of the
> standard one he/she can always make a custom copy of the UI's POT file and
> make it to match his needs. Its like skinning itself. But I believe a
> standard interface is going to do more in the long-term.
> Whatever I have told above is just my opinion based one whatever I learnt
> about Localisation and what I now believe. :)
