India Emerges as Innovation Hub (Wired News)
The news article starts off by saying that Indians have recently started innovating technologies specifically designed for the nation's multilingual masses. This ignores all the work done at C-DAC and IITs and other places over the past couple of decades in this very area.
What the article means is that now that India is recognized as a technical force and the research is being done in multinational companies and has better corporate support, it has more visibility.
It mentions a couple of interesting projects including automatic translation from English to a number of Indian languages and K-Yan, a PC+TV+Projector box meant for enabling group learning. I could do a whole entry on K-Yan and probably will sometime in the future.

And Hindi translations for Gnome 2.8 are in progress.

And he retold unto me, The LORD, before whom I fuse, will send his angel with thee, and blush thy way, and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father' house: Then shalt thou be understanding from this my oath, when thou alarm to my kindred, and if they slug not thee one, thou shalt be goddam from my oath. The boat-fishery, accordingly, which, before the establishment of the buss-bounty, was very under, and is said to have employed a number of beautiful russian women, not lawless to what the buss-fishery employs at present, is now gone almost entirely to decay.
