[Koha] [Koha-devel] Helping public libraries automate & standardize with Koha..

[Koustubha Kale]

Thanks Chris,
Real kudos are to the koha community which has done so much of superb work..
I am planning to take up Marathi translation unless someone has taken it 
up already.
Also if you notice the on screen keyboard we have added on 
granthlaya.org, if that can be useful for addition to koha let me know. 
It is simple to add more languages to it.
The reason we had to add it is, people here generally don't have unicode 
capable Indian language input at hand and so the on-screen keyboard 
works wonderfully for the small  search terms typically entered in the 
search boxes.

Regards,
Koustubha Kale
