Unconference - Tamil Translation
Prabhu Ganeshan
As discussed with Sudhir, I am intrested in taking up the task of
translating the wonderful project "Unconference" in Tamil. I would
appreciate your inputs. Please feel free to update me with information
on book translation, english to tamil dictionary, tips on tamil
translation books, contacts of people who are translating
"Unconference" in other languages. Any small info will be a big help.

Second - do know that a) there will soon be Tamil translations specifically
of the Open Space guidelines (4 principles, law) so perhaps wait a bit
before you do that - often the very nuances of translation depend on the
context and so if I can get translations of these from an upcoming actual
Open Space event it may be some really good wording choices for these
guidelines. And b) I have an international glossary of Open Space terms and
phrases on my website - if by chance in future you care to translate any of
these I can give you the worksheet, you can return it to me and I can add to
those languages to my site - which is used by folks all over the world. See
what it looks like (I have a few more languages already to add that are
ready: Italian, Arabic, Tetum...) http://www.openingspace.net/glossary.shtml
Cheers,
Lisa

Thats a great idea of translating the gloassary items. Its a great
step to start. Please feel free to forward me the Excel worksheet,
will initiate it.
Clarifications:
- In your website, Do you want the words (in English) to translate to
actual language (ex: Tamil). Or we could also provide a conversion of
the tamil word in english alphabets. [For Example : Thank You =
Nandri]
- If we translating it in actual Tamil language, the Web Tamil fonts
that need to be displayed in web sites might be a Challenge. It also
has to support different browsers..
Good day
Prabhu
