Communuity Glossary How to contribute?
Welcome to the Community Glossary! We at Bhashaindia value your suggestions.
Translating words used in software products into our language supports efforts to ensure that software remain vibrant and living parts of many cultures. The use of local volunteers to build the glossary allows technical IT terms to be standardized and agreed upon by that community. Those translated terms then can be used for whatever purposes the community desires.
This project provides a forum for speakers in various local languages to participate in creating a technical glossary of software and hardware terminology.
