I've got the tamil menus working in KDE programs using the translations
done by Sivakumar.
This is what I did:
1. cd to i18n-kde-ta
2. run msgfmt to creat the .mo file
msgfmt -o kde.mo kdelibs.po
3. mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/ta/LC_MESSAGES
4. copy the kde.mo file to the above directory
5. edit the file /usr/share/config/kcmlocalerc and add the following
lines:
[ta]
Name=Tamil
6. I also translated the kedit.po file and copied it to the tamil locale
directory /usr/share/locale/ta/LC_MESSAGES
(Question: How do I upload it ?)
7. Now go to Settings->Desktop->Language and select Tamil.
Now start kedit from the K menu and the Tamil menu. ("Koopu", "Thoku"
etc.) will appear
(Remember to change the system font to a TSCII font, this can be done from
K Menu-> System-> Desktop->Fonts)
This procedure doesn't work for desktop (K Menu , etc) as the .po file
needs to be in UTF8 format. We'd have to write a converter to get that
going. (i.e. add TSCII to UTF8 support in recode/KBabel).
