platform Database - Different translation tools on different platforms have
different ways of dealing with data provided to them. So need is to create
one database that can be used by major available tools.

Of late, FUEL project has organised Malayalam and Punjabi language workshop
in Kerala and Punjab respectively. Thanks to Punjabi and Malayalam Community
for organising workshops. FUEL thanks to Swathantra Malayalam
Computing<http://wiki.smc.org.in/>and Satluj
Open Source Project <http://satluj.com/>. In this year itself, FUEL released
the beta of Computer Translation Style and Convention Guide for
Hindi<https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/wiki/fuel-hindi#FUELComputerTranslationstyl...>.
In Oct 2010, we have conducted FUEL Meet for Telugu successfully at
Nagarjuana University.
FUEL: Use
Our aim is to ensure the use of FUEL terminologies and for this, we are
working hard. Though we feel that already localised language have little
difficulty in implementing the list in one go due to lot of rework, so there
we are trying to push the change in phase wise. For this, we are contacting
localizers and organizations involved. By default for some languages, FUEL
is the primary glossary in Pootle and so being used where Pootle works. For
example, Libreoffice translation.

Virtaal <http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/virtaal/index> is a graphical
translation tool. It is meant to be easy to use and powerful at the same
time. The Virtaal is using FUEL terminology for Indian languages. Thanks to
the Virtaal Guys for creating such a good translation tool.
***Future Plans:*
We are working to have more workshops for few languages in near future.
Chhatisgadi and Kannada communities are working on the plan. We are in the
process to arrange one meet for reviewing Hindi Style Guide as
well.Languages are archive of our culture and it would be better if we can
start making our language digitally strong enough. Particularly, open source
lack much in terms of terminology management and we would be happy if we can
get contribution towards where use of the FUEL can be increased. So please
come forward to create something so...!
