I
I
congratulate
Microsoft for this highly useful Marathi software. All those who suffer from the fear of English – students, farmers,
workers – will benefit while using computer.
Technology
must speak
the language
of the people
if it has to reach unto the last. It is necessary that such software are created in
Indian
languages to make
the languages more
effective and for common man to benefit.
Multiple
keyboards, charts and
graphs in
Marathi in Microsoft Office Excel 2003, e-mail in Marathi and
availability of
database
of names and addresses in Marathi through Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 are some of the most useful features of Microsoft
Office 2003 Marathi. Exchanging
text
and database in Marathi
across
different
applications will
be simpler now.
While the software
will help small and medium enterprises to easily
create applications
in Marathi through
Microsoft Office Access 2003 and smart
documents using Microsoft Office
Word
2003, there
could
be many obstacles as far as standardisation in Marathi
on computer
is concerned.
Personally,
I would like
to see further
simplification
of the language
of this software. It will
ensure
that real benefits of Microsoft Office
2003 Marathi reach
the people
of Maharashtra.
As
a journalist, I would definitely like to take this software to the people.
