how to view content in indian regional languages .

as my personal knowledge of Indian regional languages

is best for

Telugu

I will first publish a topic in english and then translate it in to telugu

second attempt will be in hindi

3rd in urdu

4th in kannada

5 th in tamil

6th in malayalam .

I want to use uncode for all the regional language so that all the content will be truely searcheable .

though I do believe in copy right laws and feel a creater of content needs to own it and benefit from it .some of the patents and copyrights in the present are really stiffiling exchange of knowledge and stopping progress in certain areas .this is specially true about the developing world.

hence unless there are objections from any body inparticular I am going to include the best possible content to help patients with out any copy right .

in this process if there is any content in this blog which is objectionable to any one please contact me at haridallas@hotmail.com and I will see that that content is removed and replaced by nonobjectionable material.



begining from today I will try to add atleast one topic in english and in telugu every week.

Why an Indian regional language website for diabetes?

Why an Indian regional language website for diabetes?

I 2003 while reading up on some journal articles I came across the following article reference in Diabetes Care Journal

“McCabe, M., Morgan, F., Smith, M., and others (2003, June).”Challenges in interpreting diabetes concepts in the Navajo language." (AHRQ grant HS10637). Diabetes Care 26(6), pp. 1913-1914.

During development of a pamphlet on diabetes for Navajo Indians, these researchers found that they had to pay attention to cultural factors, regional language differences, and the possibility of a lack of word-for-word translation. Translators initially recorded an oral Navajo translation of the Michigan Diabetes Knowledge Test. A Navajo language expert translated the taped version back into written English and then prepared another Navajo version. The revised translation was verified with selected elderly community members, health care professionals, and others. By probing the linguistic, cultural, and regional language issues in translating an apparently simple questionnaire from English into Navajo, the translators were able to articulate approaches that can be used in explaining diabetes management in an appropriate cultural context. “

Then realized how much little education material exists in the Indian regional languages and decided I should make a web site.

For about 2 years I have been collecting material and learning about web sites HTML etc.

There were many issues about fonts, Unicode .what kind of language to use.

and terminology problems.

“literal translations, while accurate linguistically, could be sufficiently inappropriate culturally to prevent accurate communication between provider and patient.” (Melvina Macbe et al)

In order to keep things simple and also scientifically accurate

Day to day language in a conversation type format was retained for most of the web content.

Unicode was chosen for regional language content so search capability can be included in the regional content also.

Transliteration of English technical equivalents was decided upon to reduce much confusion.

Everybody knows “DIABETISU” but few people know what "Madumeha" is though that is the Sanskrit name for this disease.

In 2004 during my biannual trip to India I noticed the very lax guidelines for Diabetes control even among medical professionals.

One of my own classmates had let his diabetes go out of control and had become very thin from loss of muscle mass. During our college time he was a good body builder with a physique we all envied.

I was able to convince him through much persuasion from his wife who was another classmate of mine to start LANTUS and get good control.

This incident increased my determination to start this website even more

If this is the situation among educated medical professionals what is it like among the general public.

Being an internist dealing with a patient population in which almost 50 % are diabetics .I have realized that I can divide the diabetic population in to 3 kinds.

The Ignorant

The Misinformed and Unmotivated

The Informed and Motivated

The 3^rd category are the best those patients who understand their disease process, take charge and follow all the guidelines and live a long and complication free life.

The first category is large and the levels of ignorance can vary and there is lots of disinformation all over.

Some of them may be turned off to learn by the language barrier and also the technical jargon.

The second category are the real dangerous kind, they are the know alls who tell people around that eating methi(__fenugreek____)will cure Diabetes .Ignore all the warning signs and then end up with complications for which they do doctor shopping and blame everyone including God but themselves.

There are 2 words in English “Tough love”, “Enable” tough love

NOUN: The use of strict disciplinary measures and limitations on freedoms or privileges, as by a parent or guardian, as a means of fostering responsibility and expressing care or concern.

Enable

VERB: To supply with the means, knowledge, or opportunity; make able: a hole in the fence that enabled us to watch; techniques that enable surgeons to open and repair the heart. b. To make feasible or possible

Lots of time people who want to help the diabetic try and adopt tough love but usually this backfires.

I find enabling is much more useful and helpful.

I hope this website will be kept as up-to-date as possible and if it helps even a small Miniscule proportion of Diabetics in India, I will consider my effort worthwhile.

PROPOSAL TO CONVERT90 % WORLD SUGAR PRODUCTION TO BE USED AS FUEL

if we can invent an unpatented process in india before wtc regulations come in to effect .one can convert 10% of the world sugar production .this is feasible as india is one of the large sugar producers of the world
then the rest of the 90 % cane produced can be used to convert it in to fuel for a fuel cell economy .
I personally think
dr. Anjireddy of reddy labs would be the best person to implement tjhis idea .

in the first portion of gayab there is a dialogue
in which the narrator says .
it was a day like any other day '
when the USA military started yet another war to obtain peace !

I was looking at microsoft office XP speech tools and also a program called ipad
and there is a possibility of making tlugu hand writing recognition program from this .

google search in Indian language

go to http://www.baraha.com/
down load the free soft ware baraha
use the baraha direct and type in to the search bar the regional language word you are looking for and you will be surprised at the number of regional language websites .
i only wish every one starts using the uncode fonts so that every one of those web pages is searchable

Fly ash CICMT

I have started an MSN group for discussing all aspects of flyash rice husk ash and other efforts of CICMT.
all who are interested could post on to this group.

BARAHA

I was aware of baraha ,a free soft ware editor for kannada nad marathi and devanagari
i was really happy to see this exteded to telugu tamil and malayalam .
that covers all of the south and many parts of north
with this it should be quite easy to include other languages .
I wish they let the font tables also in to the open source so that newer anbd better fonts can be made in unicode .

the begining of my Blog

On columbus day,I discovered the google Blog.
I think this is a neat idea to keep my random thoughts on the net and accessible to me and others .
as i have very many interests in diverse fields and have some times really racing ideas and thoughts which I do not have time to even note down in my random thoughts book .I hope i may be able to use this better .
who knows somw one may even read this and get some newer ideas .

STEM cell reasearch .
superman chritopher reves is dead .
did he leave instructions for some of his cells to be frozen ?
so that in future we can clone a superman.

another news of frozen ovarian tissue is transplanted back in to a woman and she is pregnant .
may be this is the begining of ovarian factories
all women who have had children and want no more will donate their ovaries which are transplanted in to a primate and theses are translocated in to a subcutaneous sac.
so that they can be easily harvested
sperm can already be frozen and kept
somatic cells can be frozen .
at a given order an ovum with a sperm or somatic cell cloniong is done and newer tissues and organs are created .
? the fountain of eternallife perhaps .
