Hi Jitendra. It would be very cool to have a Marathi
translation for AbiWord!
The problem you have is that you don't have a Hindi or
Devanagari keyboard set up. I'm guessing that you are
using Linux. If you were using Windows 2000 or
Windows
XP you can choose a keyboard for Hindi and maybe even
Marathi and AbiWord will mostly work. There will
probably be problems with ligatures and maybe lines
will be refreshed differently to how they look as they
are typed.
Now if you are using Linux you will have to locate a
Hindi/Marathi/Devanagari/Sanskrit keymap for X.
I think there is a project called "Inscript" around
that deals with this. I don't believe such keymaps
are included with the current common Linux distros.
Please search around on the internet and let us know
what success you have so we can include it in our
documentation.
Good luck! Andrew.
