Hai all............ Its a prod to be part of the Translation for Linux Softwares....... Unlike the English and other languages The Indian Language "Malayalam" have have a large number of letters (>53 !!!!!). Its very difficult to type malayalam as there is no virtual keyboard having all the letters included. There is something called "KOOTTAKSHARAM" (nothing but combining two or more letters!) is very important, and with out that its very difficult to read and understand Malayalam. Currently our site doesn't support many popular fonts like Karthika which is commonly used, and the font supported currently is not alowwing the " KOOTTAKSHARAM". I have attached some forts which r avaialble in my system i dont know it wil b usefull or not! but if possible pls include this fonts too.....
I think Launch Pad uses unicode (correct me if I am wrong) and if you have any unicode font installed on your machine then it should work fine. Typing Malayalam is a problem with using correct keyboard layout and not with Launch Pad.
I am able to type and view Telugu, another indian language, without any problem using firefox extension Indic Input[1].
There is one more similar extension Indic IME[2]. [1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3972 [2]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2573 -Anand
