Hindi Localization Files

I am pleased to announce that we now have the Hindi Localization files available. The localization files can be found here: http://whitebuffalomobile.com/Localization/localization.html @Sandeep did the translation for us. Thank you, Sandeep! Even if you don't speak Hindi, take a moment to take a look at the beautiful script the language with which the language is written. Here is a link to one of the files: http://whitebuffalomobile.com/Localization/hindi-android.txt You should see the text displayed with the devnagri font, which is preinstalled in Mac. One of the interesting challenges with localization is the various typefaces we need for a variety of languages. We have already had some problems with the European languages that use the roman script due to its use of accents that are not on the standard English keyboard. I hope you can see it because it is beautiful. This is an explanation from @Sandeep on the font. "The devnagri font is really beautiful font. The font is as old as 7000 years and most of the Indian languages use this font though it differs in meaning of each language. The font mainly belongs to Sanskrit language which is much older than the font itself. Even Roman empire was not born at that time." Please let me know if you speak Hindi, because as part of this project I am trying to gather information on who speaks what languages. Thank you! Next up: Thai and another version of Portuguese that is suitable for an audience in Brazil.

Nice. Thanks a Lot to SusanMetoxen & Sandeep. I have quite a few hindi apps using Buzztouch. https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=xtremeesolutions Will surely be using the Hindi Localization in My apps. My mother tongue is hindi. So, let me know if you need any help on the hindi language

That is so cool, Raoul! I will add you to the list of people that speak Hindi, even if it is just a little Hindi. I think it is amazing that we have a total of three!

David explains this in one of the videos, although I believe he used iOS in the example. In short, you link in two config files to your project--one in English, and one in Hindi. So you have two Buzztouch projects, and one app.
