It is really a good work, though translation needs some correction.<br><br>But I beg to differ with one term.<br><br>In Kannada we should use the word "Swatantra tantraamsha" to mean "Free Software". In the present translated work, another kannada word "Mukta" has been used in place of "Swatantra". In Kannada, Mukta conveys two meanings based on the context we use: <br>
1) Open and 2) Freedom. <br><br>Hence usage of this word lands us into trap to mean both Open software and Free Software. Open Source Industry surely seeks such ambiguity to further the confusion among common folks of kannada language. <br>
<br>But the word "Swatantra" doesnot give scope for such ambiguity. "Swatantra" symbolizes the freedom and have not come across any other such popular word in kannada to mean "Freedom".<br><br>
It is my humble request to use the word "Swatantra" for "Freedom" in kannada. <br><br>regards<br>Jaykumar<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 6:01 AM, renuka prasad <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:renukaprasadb@gmail.com">renukaprasadb@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
