Pre-requisite for Tamil Version of AOO 4.0
Today I downloaded AOO-TA and installed under Windows XP. Tamil text were
not displayed properly and I could not type in Tamil word. Then I reported
this in Bugzilla and I got back immediate reply, there is some thing wrong
in the OS. Check it. Then, I downloaded, a small package from Google,
installed as per the instruction and now I am able to type.
Google offers phonetic typing. For example I want to type my name in Tamil,
I have to press the following keys
kadal
If I want to type as per the Tamil keyboard, then I have to type the
following keys
fly
With out these pre-requisites, AOO-TA can not be used.
My suggestion is , while installing AOO, there should be a screen telling
about this prerequisite and providing required links, so that they can
install the same and use AOO-TA

Just thinking aloud: Is it possible to put the release notes on pootle?
Build a third project, "Apache OpenOffice 4.x release notes"? And the
release announcement?

We had volunteers do some tranlsations of release notes for 3.4.1 . But
this was not universal for all the languages for which 3.4.1 was released.
It would be wonderful if we could provide translations and other useful
information for all them in native language release notes.

Will we be translating the Releases Notes on the website as well?
That could be another good location for this kind of material.

Generally many softwares will have a readme page displayed just before
finishing the installation. Since this is not an option, a must for every
installation of Tamil version, Readme.html will be more preferable

Then the Release Notes are that dedicated page. The 3.4.1 version, just
to give you an idea, is at
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html
and as you can see it was translated to multiple languages.
When the 4.0 page is ready in English, shortly before release, you'll be
able to copy it, translate it into Tamil and add relevant information.

Andrea.

I think it is better to have separate page as instruction for installation
of Tamil version. If you have any template, kindly send me and I will add
it.

For this kind of suggestions we normally use the localized download
page. In this case, we (well, you!) would add some text to
http://www.openoffice.org/ta/
to give relevant information for users who are downloading the package
in Tamil.

Andrea.
