There are certain world languages like English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese and Russian which can be uploaded easily online. Now Telugu is also going to join them. The IT department is now embarking on standardization of Telugu language so that many of the complex words can be translated into Unicode so that there would be no trouble in uploading the Telugu text.
Andhra Pradesh IT minister Ponnala Laxmaiah said "Telugu is the language of more than 10 crore people. Our language has every right to be recognized as world language. We have allotted budget for standardizing the language to suit to the Internet." For example, to give space between words, in English we use the word 'space,' but there is no such Telugu equivalent. After researching the old script of Telugu language experts discovered that one straight line was used to denote the comma and two straight lines for full stop. Now, this expert team is working on 'online character reorganization' so that Telugu can be easily available in all international platforms.
The state government has released Rs 61 lakh to create the Unicode-based script for Telugu and also joined the world Unicode consortium by paying Rs 7 lakh as membership fee. To make the Telugu a world language, the state government and Silicon Andhra are jointly organizing the first "Antharjatiya Antharjala Sadassu" (International Internet Conference) at Milpitas in California, USA on September 28, 29 and 30.
