Programming in Indian Languages
Filed under Programming SoftwareJun 5Typically programming language is in the English language domain. But always a need has been felt in non English speaking countries to have some avenue to write programs in their mother tounge. Indian though have sizable number of English speaking people but a majority still speaks and work in their mother tounge or local language. Since then there has been effort to develop platforms to enable writing programs in other languages. Today I will show one software which can enable you to do this. what more, you can download it free!
In their own words “Hindawi is a free, open-source, productised and released, complete non-English based systems programming platform supporting all paradigms of programming languages from assembly language to logic and functional programming, which effectively shatters the language barrier allowing non English literates to take up computer sciences and participate in the ICT revolution at all levels of technology, from primary school education to robotics and super-computing in their mother tongue, without the need to master English.
Hindawi is a suite of open-source Indic programming languages. It includes compilers for the equivalents of C, C++, lex, yacc, assembly, BASIC, Ada etc. in Hindi, Bangla, Gujrati, Assomiya, Nepali and other Indian languages. These localized programming languages are known as Shaili, e.g. Indic C is Shaili Guru, Indic C++ is Shaili Shraenibadha, Indic Assembly is Shaili Yantrik and so on.
It was first released on 15th August 2004 with incremental releases thereafter. The project’s software development is hosted at http://sf.net/projects/hindawi
There is another software called Baraha which lets one write email, publish websites or anything on the net in your mother tounge(Indian languages). It is free and hassle free. You can download it free.
