Hi Nitin, Unfortunately, I'm not sure your language "Hinglish" background. But, Hinglish doesn't seem to be supported as official ISO 639-1 languages. In my understand, we may be able to translate things into Hinglish, but can not use Hinglish because i18n tools does not support Hinglish. Correction? or any idea? Regards, KATO Tomoyuki

Hinglish
As far as I know, Hinglish is the combination of English + Hindi, similar all other countries that have their down "flavor" of english like "Manglish", "Singlish". All these is not officially a language but just a local culture adapting to the use of English with their local. As Kato mentioned, it is not in ISO 639-1 standard. We can translate into any language, but will not be supported in i18n tools as part of standard language. --------------------------------------------- Alex Eng Senior Software Engineer Globalisation Tools Engineering DID: +61 3514 8262 <callto:+61+3514+8262> Mobile: +614 2335 3457 <callto:+614+2335+3457> Red Hat, Asia-Pacific Pty Ltd Level 1, 193 North Quay Brisbane 4000 Office: +61 7 3514 8100 <callto:+61+7+3514+8100> Fax: +61 7 3514 8199 <callto:+61+7+3514+8199> Website: www.redhat.com
Thanks for the update. Hinglish makes it easier to read Hindi since it's essentially Hindi words written in English. You are correct that it is not in ISO 639-1 standard. Thanks, Nitin Madhok
