I recently read that guys from KanchiLug, a LUG from the Indian city of Kanchipuram, just finished to translate the Ubuntu documentation into their native Tamil language.
They've been evangelizing about the operating system through colleges since long, but they realized that it was a hard job for Tamil people to familiarize with the system through the English guides.
When they heard of the Ubuntu handbook produced by the Ubuntu-Manual Project, they team up themselves to translate it in Tamil.
And so they got the work done!
I think this is another of the countless story that shows the force of the open source community which is capable to spur the best from people to convey it into projects that, for several aspects attain excellence.
You can download the Tamil-English Ubuntu manual here.
Pictures of the translation event can be found here.
