Indlinux is a project, that attempts to localise tools used under Linux and other free software environments into all Indian languages. Indlinux is a combination of the words India and Linux.

[edit] Languages

The languages currently aimed at include Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Oriya, Telugu, Kannada, Punjabi, Gujarati and Bengali.

Support for most languages are ready with a Bengali distribution Ankur Bangla, Tamil being included with quite a few Linux distributions with almost complete support and Hindi localization is also 90% complete.

More languages are being pushed into mainstream distributions like Red Hat Linux which recently released Fedora Core 3 with complete support for Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Tamil.^{[citation needed]}

There has been consistent updation of language related packages into other distributions like mandriva, SuSE, and Debian too through this group of volunteers.
