Hi,

As wrote earlier, now we have "Computer Translation style and convention 
guide for Hindi (Beta)" ready with us.

You can download from here:

https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/wiki/fuel-hindi#FUELComputerTranslationstylean...

From the very starting of localization of computer in Hindi language, 
we have felt the need of one style and convention guide, a guidelines 
which can be treated as a reference point for Hindi language community 
working for the localization. I have tried to collect and compile all 
the info and given all these information in form of a guide named 
"Computer Translation style and convention guide for Hindi." In this 
guide, several important aspect of localisation have been discussed. 
Fonts, Collations, Plural Forms, White spaces, Accelerators, Program 
Syntax, Functions, Tags, Placeholders, Message Length, Numerals, 
Calender, Honorific Usages, Acronyms, Product/Brand/Company Name, Keys 
Name, Abbreviations, Legal Statements, Terminology, Punctuations, Units 
and Measurements, General Spelling Guidelines, Anusvar and Chandravindu, 
Use of Nukta, Cardinals & Ordinals, Indeclinable, Hyphen, Glidal ie 
Shrutimulak 'ya' or 'wa', Basic Quality Parameters etc. are some of the 
areas tried to be covered in this guide.

This work has been uploaded at FUEL svn in both odt and pdf format. In 
free content zone, we have very less resources like this. So hopefully 
it will be very much useful for the broader Hindi community.

We will appreciate any suggestions related to this guide. Please send 
your remark on the mailing list itself. If you want to change in odt 
file please send to me off list by enable keeping the record/track 
change on.
