Upstream Translation Teams
There is an upstream translation team called the SMC. The Motto of SMC team is "എന്റെ കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറിനു് എന്റെ ഭാഷ" . In order to avoid the duplication of effort we'll be working closely with the SMC team. The administrators of this team will carryout the necessary communications with the SMC team. Members of Launchpad Malayalam Translators are also encouraged to join the SMC team, for the greater good of Malayalam localization of opensource software.
