[Gaurav Mishra <gauravtechie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Satchit,

The whole translation process works in totally a different way and it's
totally community driven. So the reason you're seeing a lot of "." instead
of "|" because that's what community used.

However, standardization has happened through GNOME glossary and FUEL
glossary
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-i18n/trunk/glossary/hi.po?view=log

https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/wiki/fuel-hindi

Its suggested to use translations from above, if some term is missing then
it can be added.

Regards,
Gaurav Mishra
