Indlinux is a project that attempts to localise tools used under Linux and other free software environments into all Indian languages. Indlinux is a combination of the words India and Linux.

Languages

The languages currently aimed at include Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Oriya, Telugu, Kannada, Punjabi, Gujarati and Bengali. Support for most languages are ready with a Bengali distribution Ankur Bangla, Tamil being included with quite a few Linux distributions with almost complete support and Hindi localization is also 90% complete. More languages are being pushed into mainstream distributions like Red Hat Linux which recently released Fedora Core 3 with complete support for Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Tamil. There has been consistent updating of language related packages into other distributions like Mandriva, SuSE, and Debian too through this group of volunteers.
