Its better to have a regional translation in IMHO. The word "Free"
has made a lot of confusions. To express the idea of "Free" in Free
software to non-english speaking mass, we need local terms. Else we
have to correct people each and every time or ask them to visit
www.gnu.org.
PS: IAC, majority of Indians don't know English.
