[News] Another Advantage of Open Source: Localisation

,----[ Quote ]
| The localisation of OpenOffice.org into the Georgian language is to
| be completed this summer. It marks part of an important process taking
| place in Georgia, a former Soviet republic. A year ago the ministry of
| education decided to rely on open source software in its
| multimillion-dollar school computerisation project Deer Leap because
| delivering software in Georgian was only possible if open source was
| chosen; Microsoft's local partner had just announced another delay
| in releasing Georgian Windows.
