FUEL Kannada Meet was a huge success
by Shankar Prasad
[image: fuel kannada meet]
FUEL Kannada evaluation meet was held on 28th and 29th January 2012 at
Center for Internet and Society (CIS), Bangalore. This meeting was
sponsored by Red Hat and organized by Sanchaya group <
http://sanchaya.net/>.
Along with well know television and theater artist Jayalaxmi Patil, members
from Banavasi Balaga, Freelance and open source translators, Kanaja Content
writer, Linguistics Journalists and FOSS enthusiastics participated in this
workshop.
Discussion was quite interesting and at time it was difficult to come to
narrow down for a single word. After this event it was evident that the
lack of standard terminolgy hindered many to contribute in localization of
software and software related stuffs. Post event the response from all
corners was pretty good. More people wanted to join their hands in this
initiation and want to add more words to this list.

**[image: fuel assamese]First of its kind workshop for Assamese Language
A two day workshop on the standardization of Assamese computing
terminologies was held on January 19-20, 2012 at: Department of Assamese,
Biswanath College, Biswanath Chariali, Sonitpur, Assam under the FUEL
(Frequently Used Entries for Localization) project. This workshop was
sponsored by Red Hat Software Services (India) Private Limited. This
workshop is first of its kind wherein discussion amongst professors of
Assamese language, linguists, translators and users took place and a
consensus was reached upon the final translation of these computing
terminologies in Assamese. It was a great experience for me coordinating
this event. Rana Prasad Hazarika, Amorjyoti Borthakur, Balin Bhuyan, Khagen
Saikia, Aparna Saikia were among the professors who took part in the event
and contributed towards the successful completion of the event

First standardized computing terminology for Odia
by Manoj Kumar Giri
A two-day workshop on the standardization of Odia computing terminologies
was organized on January 26th-27th 2012 at Srujanika, Bhubaneswar. The
workshop was hosted and sponsored by Srujanika & Red Hat. At this occasion
Dr. Nikhil Mohan Pattnaik gave the inaugural speech for the FUEL Odia
Meet. He emphasized on the need to select those types of words that can
give the end-user a smooth feeling in using a computer in their native
language. He added that with this type of community review is the need of
the hour. I also presented on the Odia effort related to FUEL project. In
this meet, linguists, translators, technical persons, and users were
invited to participate, and there were more than 25 participants. FUEL Odia
Evaluation meet was a concrete move towards solving the problem and the
group standardized translation of entries in Odia language for the first
time. More than three years on! 16 languages are with
FUEL<https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/>.
Till now, FUEL had already organised 11 languages workshops for evaluating
terminology. Released the beta of Computer Translation Style and Convention
Guide for Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi and Odia. A lot more to do.
