Hi,

Are we talking about something like this?

http://vidagdha.wordpress.com/2008/08/24/programming_in_marathi/

IIRC, one of my friend Somesh (http://guruvision.in) had written
complete C programming (I think using turbo C interface) way back in
2001.
Check out the news coverage on this page:

http://blog.guruvision.in/?page_id=6

I will have to find out if he still has that stuff online somewhere.

Regards

That looks interesting. I had earlier heard of Marathi BASIC 
http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?1700037039
 
However, Hindawi is not really just one programming language. We define it as 
complete in a very programming language sense; i.e. it is completely 
bootstrappable, or can be written in Hindawi set of languages itself. Hindawi 
provides assembly, C, lex and yacc. This combination can be used to implement 
any other programming language. Ref http://www.hindawi.in/en_US/faq.php
 
There are many other factors already mentioned in my mail earlier today Mother 
tongue based programming languages, please also read that, if you have already 
not done so. For instance one interesting component of Hindawi is a FOSS 
replacement of the GIST card, that is completely software based and does not 
use graphics mode to simulate text mode for Indic scripts.
 
 IIRC, one of my friend Somesh (http://guruvision.in) had written
 complete C programming (I think using turbo C interface) way back in
 2001. ... http://blog.guruvision.in/?page_id=6
 
Again this is very interesting. Please do provide us with more information 
about this. The Sakaal article is not very detailed. I am interested in knowing 
what were the results like what all was localised - comments only, or also 
keywords; could variable names be used in Marathi; if yes then were there any 
restrictions; what about namespace pollution; could the Marathi C be translated 
back into traditional C (I assume yes); what was the level of compatibility 
with exisiting set of libraries? One very important question, that you have 
yourself mentioned is what is its current state?
 
It will be great if you can convey my questions to Somesh. I believe there will 
be many others on this list interested in these answers, else I would have 
preferred to take it offline.

[ilugd] Can we code in Hindi ??

2008-09-23 Thread narendra sisodiya
Sorry for this post, but I do not want to hurt and hindi-wali feelings
inside your soft heart.

Just saw this website -- http://www.hindawi.in/en_US/
run the flash intro and see the code snippet in Hindi.

Coding structure in Hindi gave a big laugh on my face. I was unable to
control myself.
I have not downloaded the software But one natural question arise in mind,,

*Can we code in Hindi???*

My answer is NO, and even if we able to code then also it will be of NO use.

I do not know , why somebody will run these type of software. Coding in
Hindi will be really tuff (at least for me) and more over the worst part may
happen on one day when the moronic idealistic and policy maker may introduce
computer education of Hindi Coding at junior classes level.

Writing English, speaking English and typing C++ code (which has some
English keywords) is totally different. Even Kanitkar has some books in
Hinglish. hindi bhashi can read them also.

As a programmer I know, changing platform and language is not easy. It takes
time . But If I have to shift from English keywords to Hindi keywords it
will be really tuff and impossible task. A Hindawi-programmer will also feel
same problem while shifting to actual language.

Even this project is getting FOSS awards also. ?

In my view it is not a useful effort and will not make any sense. It may be
used as a proof of concept which tell that you can make equivalent Hindi
or lets say Telugu keywords for any computer language like C++ or XML. They
are just using gcc backend.

my single question is when will be become free from cage of ideology?

Let me give a very good example -- I have attended 1-2 classes of a course
at IITD, the lecturer was a famous  artist, He was digitizing some art-work
of a village, he was having some illiterate artists --village females .
After a small training, those female were having good command in photoshop,
and those females made their own terminologies to talk and explain each
other for photoshop.
In my View Language is not barrier in case of software and software
languages. All we (Indians) need is a good training. FOSS activities should
be concentrate on content and its quality, rather then such proof of
concept projects.

Let me very specific to the question Do we really need localization at
software and software languages, taking into consideration of Indian
progress and total number of common english users. Localization of some
software may make sense in some sense but how come it make sense for
software language

Please do not take it on heart. Guide me, I may be wrong !!

 You might want to download the software and think over it a bit before
 being so vehement in your comments (you are free to comment though) :)


By seeing the flash intro on their web site, I have imagined the complexity
in coding in Hindi atleast for me. I do not want to code in Hindi , so why
should i download.
If you read my mail, I just want to ask, will the coding in Hindi will make
any sense. How any hindawi coder and software we have ? is their anything
which cannot achieve from the normal coding and hindwai platform coding ??

Narendra,
Actually you are asking the wrong question. It should have been Can
*someone* code in Hindi? (replacing we by someone)
You already know a language and so you can't think of programming it
somehow else (Isn't that something we already know? Windows ppl don't
want to switch to linux because they already know how to work in
windows?)
But, what if you were to give this to a person who never studied
english? I don't have a single piece of doubt that one can code in
hindi. After all, its just keywords right, as you accepted?  Don't
hindi medium schools teach maths in Hindi?
As you yourself said, coding is a universal language, someone here is
just replacing the keywords. If a 5th class guy can write maan lo
instead of let in his maths problem, then what is stopping him to
use similar equivalents of all keywords?
No one is reinventing/copying the wheel here, what they are trying is
that it is easier for a cycle owner to get a cycle tyre so that he
doesn't have to necessarily fit in a motorbike's in there..

That is what I am saying... Knowing English and coding using English

coding.

Gora has said correctly. English is the language of a few, he has already
given figures. I, being from literature side, have seen the the concerns of
Enlish speaking people are quite different from those of Indian languages.
Its unfortunate that we have to settle with English as we have almost killed
Sanskrit. But the Hindi we use today is not the actual form. The way Hebrew
came to life again we should rather work on Sanskrit. Which has strong roots
in our glorious past and a lot of valuavle text is available in Sanskrit.
Even NASA scientists say that Sanskrit is the best language for computers as
well as AI.

There is at least one language, Sanskrit, which for the duration of almost
1000 years was a living spoken language with a considerable literature of
its own. Besides works of literary value, there was a long philosophical and
grammatical tradition that has continued to exist with undiminished vigor
until the present century. Among the accomplishments of the grammarians can
be reckoned a method for paraphrasing Sanskrit in a manner that is identical
not only in essence but in form with current work in Artificial
Intelligence. This article demonstrates that a natural language can serve as
an artificial language also, and that much work in AI has been reinventing a
wheel millenia old.

The comparison of the analyses shows that the Sanskrit sentence when
rendered into triples matches the analysis arrived at through the
application of computer processing. That is surprising, because the form of
the Sanskrit sentence is radically different from that of the English. For
comparison, the Sanskrit sentence is given here: Maitrah: sauhardyat
Devadattaya odanam ghate agnina pacati.

   Hmm? Hindi software? do you mean, software that has been
localised to Hindi or some other language? If so, what is the problem
with that? Localisation is a good thing, last time I checked.

 One Hindi-wala can contribute in Hindi software, and one Telgu wala can
 contribute in Telgu software.. English gives us common platfrom.

But what about the guy in the village deep in -say - West
Bengal - who wants to use a kiosk which tells him the current rate of
whole sale rice or such. He probably doesn't know English but knows to
read Bengali. So he has to learn English so that he gets opportunity
to use a service. He obviously has no time to learn English now. He
wants to work on his farm instead so that he make a living.

Narendra you are completely wrong in judging both the ability and
effectiveness of hindi coding and translation work.

Yes , we can code and yes it`s hell a lot of money .

From my college days i have been very much interested in Language
technologies and the plans and the initial research which we have done
in past shows well enough that not even putting language technologies
in Indian languages is not even feasible, But IMO is the only way
today to become next microsoft.

Some pointers that i would like to give you to start !

1. What is the annual turnover language translation and content
creation Industry in India ?

2. What is the percentage of people in India with 2nd or 3rd language
as English ? (Would like to point that you should go and check
authenticity of news of villages working on PC`s efficiently, You
would really amazed to know , How these NGO`s make money ;) )

3. How many young people are there in India with Maths background till
there 12th ? (Which is the base according to me for learning any prog
language)

 I do not know , why somebody will run these type of software. Coding in
 Hindi will be really tuff (at least for me) and more over the worst part may
 happen on one day when the moronic idealistic and policy maker may introduce
 computer education of Hindi Coding at junior classes level.


Yeah it will be *tuff* for you because u can write and read in English
which is easier for you to follow in programming language thus.


 Writing English, speaking English and typing C++ code (which has some
 English keywords) is totally different. Even Kanitkar has some books in
 Hinglish. hindi bhashi can read them also.


Exactly, Put a C++ code in front of a English literary student and it
will be gibberish for him, Same way putting code in Hindi will not
make much difficulty in coding, (I have tried on my own long time back
in 2004 and didn`t found it at all difficult)

 As a programmer I know, changing platform and language is not easy. It takes
 time . But If I have to shift from English keywords to Hindi keywords it
 will be really tuff and impossible task. A Hindawi-programmer will also feel
 same problem while shifting to actual language.


As a programmer if you can`t change platform and language easily for
studying new language for 10-15 days , Then my friend you really need
to go fast and get your basic correct :)


 Even this project is getting FOSS awards also. ?

 In my view it is not a useful effort and will not make any sense. It may be
 used as a proof of concept which tell that you can make equivalent Hindi
 or lets say Telugu keywords for any computer language like C++ or XML. They
 are just using gcc backend.


Really ?, The last time we discussed this with some google engineers
in a ILUGD meet , They were excited to see how chaudhary is actually
doing machine translation in backend.

 my single question is when will be become free from cage of ideology?


Lolz, this is not ideology, This is a gap of demand,

Hmm, Google for chinese keyboards and you will know what kind of
platform and language interface our chinese friends use and what`s the
total industry turnover per year.


 Let me very specific to the question Do we really need localization at
 software and software languages, taking into consideration of Indian
 progress and total number of common english users. Localization of some
 software may make sense in some sense but how come it make sense for
 software language


Whenever you want to make sense of something and want to ask whether
this is something feasible for general masses or not, go and take a
walk of your colony and try selling stuff in your mind to every person
you see. NEVER ever put yourself in customer shoes.

Um, Hindawi uses Unicode input, and is available for Hindi,

In fact Abhishek is Bengali, and the software worked in
Bangla before it did in Hindi.

Hate to interrupt a good rant, but you might do the project
the courtesy of reading up about it before criticising it.

I will admit that I initially had doubts about this project,

I believe Tanveer's point is valid here--- and while Swapnil I appreciate
your pride in our motherland, if you were to do programming you will see the
gaps in the point you are presenting.

Furthermore Swapnil-- if you were a programmer--- then you would see where
Tanveer and Narendra are coming from.
In certain contexts your argument may be valid (I myself pointed out abt the
need to break away from slave mentality some days back)--- but in this
context your logic/argument about slave mindset is not valid.

Also, I think what Narendra was originally trying to say is:

Promoting code in local language solutions can gloss over the fact that
logic is universal-- and can lead to balkanization of programming
languages-- because of ideologies and political agendas.

Is this what you were trying to say Narendra ?

Forgive me if m foolish on this part ..

but i think ..coding in hindi can be established as a fact if we
design a code converter to any primary hll ..such as C. So every
keyword in C would then be replaced by it equivalent in hindi ..n the
we go on ..
eg would be
main : shuruat
printf: dikhayen
int : ank
double : duguna

etc..
 it can be passed on from a block ...n then its C
again ..!

Re: [ilugd] Can we code in Hindi ??

2008-09-23 Thread Parthan SR
Wow, this thread I have been really entertaining to sit back and watch. 
But this is growing out to be something which serves no purpose. Here 
are my few thoughts, though wishing this thread will close soon.

The idea of Coding in Native Languages is not new, a lot of people have 
spoken and may be few even tried one in nook and corners of the world. I 
even remember a similar topic running in one of the Indian GNU/Linux 
Mailing List a few years ago.

On one side, the idea is so welcomed as the requirement of English 
knowledge is sometimes felt as a barrier for development as a majority 
of our population are not that much literate in English. Under such 
consideration, being able to write code, developer softwares with their 
own native language is surely a boon. I don't understand, if such a 
thing is possible, why shouldn't it be welcomed and supported as this 
can be effectively used to create more desi softwares, solving local 
problems and requirements, by people who are at the core of the problem 
or the primary people exposed to it. Scratching ones own itch is better 
than scratching other's itch.

If such a system is possible and being developed, what might be of 
concern is how compatible is it with other systems. We, as one amongst 
the FOSS community, ought to think about developing softwares which can 
be applied in a wide scope (except in case of specialized softwares 
targeting a specific group of people). This means, we need to have a 
facility to code in FOO programming language in BAR native language, but 
being able to compile this code or transform this code into FOOBAR 
native language. To put it simply, if A writes a Python code in Hindi, 
there should be a cross-compiler or such thing which B can use to 
convert the Python code into Tamil or Malayalam so that people in those 
languages can improve the code, which A can take back and compile it 
into Hindu. Here, the concerned Programming Language remains the same 
Python and hence the programmatic idioms and practices remains the 
same.Thus, even when people work in their own languages, the code is 
fully compatible between languages, while the main Programming Language 
being followed is the same.

I still consider this to be a dream, which is totally not impossible but 
would be surprised if this happens in my life time. I might still stick 
to writing EN code, but at least people might write better software if 
they can do so in their own native language.

  Maybe, thats what Parthan and Gaurav were hinting at. A
higher level universal wrapper may help/be needed.  Can't you see
that as a mathematical  problem and needs a solution or probably
already has a solution? I am no expert but Natural Language Processing
comes to my mind, please correct me if I am wrong.

   Err? You do realise that the Native Language you use to
program is US_en. And probably most programming languages do. So what
is wrong with using Hindi/Bangla/German/Chinese instead?


 IMHO, a programmer can easily understand these facts.

  And isn't logic independent of language.  IMHO, a programmer

There are books available for say hindi speaking people to learn say
japanese. You don't have to learn English first to learn Japanese. You
just don't see the books around 'cause you are present in a market
where it probably wouldn't sell much.

 I still consider this to be a dream, which is totally not impossible but

 Nope,,, It is impossible to revert time...

In our lifetime, may be. How about somebody in the future develops a
time machine, comes back and teaches me how to make a time machine? I
would like this to go on permanent record (as permanent as this
archive can be) that I want to learn how to make a time machine if
somebody reads this in the future -- I also promise I will do no evil!
:D



 I might still stick
 to writing EN code, but at least people might write better software if
 they can do so in their own native language.

 When will you guys will agree that a computer language is having its own
 syntax. saying pyton in hindi is same as saying Newton's law in Hindi

And because Newton's law was translated in Hindi, we now have a wider
people with elementary education. Or do you mean to imply that people
who know how things work (without knowing English) do not understand
the principles/cannot apply them/or cannot compete for a job with you?

 like in C++ , if we need to define variable  then it will be
 *int i ;*
 and in Hindawi it will
 *purnank aai ;*
 How does it matter, by a *technical point of view * you are just rebuilding
 the keywords to  make life complex.

You are renaming the keywords, yes, but to make life simple for those
who learn it. Nobody is asking you to learn it. Narendra, you are not
the target audience. I think you are missing this point. Your question
(whatever that was, I've lost track now) is still valid, I guess, but
you should also realize that teaching English first to do coding is
not sensible. As mentioned before, this might just be working as a
wrapper. That means, that the code is already being converted to
english (forget variable names for now, they are trivial in
understanding logic) making it accessible it to a wider community.

Think of it this way. There are more people who can learn in India to
program. They do so in their native language. Wrappers are available
to make it available elsewhere.


 writing a code in computer language need some keywords, with logic, native
 language is not useful for code writing.

On the contrary, for code _WRITING_, native language is the best way
to WRITE. Logic is language independent.

 I will again say, you are diverting new generation to stick/code with local
 language.

I don't think the new generation (around you and me) is being asked to
learn programming in local languages. This is meant for people who
speak certain languages. If you are talking about adoption of such
tools at school level, I think we needn't worry much 'cause I think
the fight is still on to remove MS Office from CS course in schools?

Indeed, localizing document is not as hard as localizing a programming 
language itself. And in FOSS, documents are also community contributed 
and hence people might try to code in Hindi, experiment and write 
documentation/tutorial/howtos for the same in Hindi.

 Nope,,, It is impossible to revert time...
   
Hmm?
 saying pyton in hindi is same as saying Newton's law in Hindi

   
Of course, an if condition makes sense because you know the word if 
means something a sorta condition. If we can imply the same in Hindi, 
then why won't it make sense?
 How does it matter, by a *technical point of view * you are just rebuilding

Whose life? If you feel complex then nobody is compelling you to use it. 
It is for people to whom it makes more sense than doing something in a 
language they learn using their native language.
 writing a code in computer language need some keywords, with logic, native
 language is not useful for code writing.
   
What language does computer language use. If your PoV is that they do 
not use English, then you are learning a programming language in some 
alien meaningless language. When you can do so, why you thing people 
wont be able to make use of something in their own native language which 
they can very much understand without external intervention? If you 
accept they are in English, then when something can be represented in 
English why not some other language not be used?
 IMHO, a programmer can easily understand these facts.

 I will again say, you are diverting new generation to stick/code with local
 language.
   

We are indeed programmers and we have understood that programming is 
merely putting logic into action using a tool called programming 
language. What's at the bottom most core of all programming language is 
math, or more precisely logic. When you are good in your logical 
abilities, you become a good programmer. If a programmer understands 
this fundamental truth, then he wont run away when he is put into a 
situation that he has to work with a new programming language that he 
doesn't know till now.

As a closing comment, you can be skeptical or even caustic about Coding 
in Hindi and we respect your freedom to do. But this doesn't give you  
any freedom to laugh at some one when he/she makes a genuine attempt to 
make it reality. If you can help, please do, but at least do not laugh 
at people who are trying to help. Criticism is welcomed, if it is 
constructive. Pinch of salt and playing delivs advocate is helpful most 
times, but that doesn't mean you can undermine something which a whole 
bunch of people think would be beneficial if exists.

IMO, most developers comprehend things faster when they get an
explanation in their native language, because, it helps them to learn
things in a language that is known to them, and which they are
comfortable with.

This also boosts their confidence levels and brings them to a
comfort zone with which they come forward to discuss things in a
group discussion, for example, and are more eager to contribute and
work along these lines, rather, than being put off on the wrong
assumption that they need to speak grammatically correct English to
put their words across.

But, code written in one language, need to be translated to an
intermediate form, that people from other languages can understand and
re-use, else, the spirit of FOSS is lost.

 If I code in hindi, with hindi vaibles, such as mera_ank that might not
 make any meaning after translation in Telgu.

  Maybe, thats what Parthan and Gaurav were hinting at. A
 higher level universal wrapper may help/be needed.  Can't you see
 that as a mathematical  problem and needs a solution or probably
 already has a solution? I am no expert but Natural Language Processing
 comes to my mind, please correct me if I am wrong.


I think programming languages are too far away from natural languages
and generally have little to do with the English language. The
question of coding in specific native languages makes sense only in
the context of literate programming. Otherwise programming languages
have their own syntax and semantics.



 writing a code in computer language need some keywords, with logic, native
 language is not useful for code writing.

   Err? You do realise that the Native Language you use to
 program is US_en. And probably most programming languages do. So what
 is wrong with using Hindi/Bangla/German/Chinese instead?

Different cultures have their own idioms, logic and 'general forms of
interpretation'. This should mean extension of particular programming
languages for those modes of thinking ... or just new programming
languages. The syntactic aspect is not so important here.


 IMHO, a programmer can easily understand these facts.

  And isn't logic independent of language.  IMHO, a programmer
 can easily understand these facts.

As I said above that is not the case. It also depends on the number of
meta levels that are used to see the logic. Programmers from different
cultures will have their own ways of specifying things, representation
and coding. The number of cultures that a programming language can
accommodate hardly needs to bear upon its syntax.

For literate programming languages, there is no room for debate.

I am not a developer, just a writer. But I feel just like English and
Hindi, any programming language is just another language. The primary
goal of any language is communication, and it evolves with time. So,
instead of localization of programming language (what difference does
it make to use some local replacement of {, , $ etc?). Localization
matters when it comes to UI. A farmer who wants to use a MID to know
about price cares if he can see names in his local language, a guy
sitting in small village who only knows Hindi is either way not going
to write a programme. So, I believe, localization is OK in terms of
content, but not in terms of programming language, yes if we can come
out with a new language then its all together different ball game, but
then that would become another programming language for the
programming world, just like Python and Perl, and not a *local*
language.

I hope I have not said anything beyond my understanding. If I did,
then as I said earlier -- I am a writer and not a programmer :-)

Yes, You are getting the point. BigBang of programming has occured many year
before,, We cannot revert or translated whole Internet and Technology to all
50+ local languages of India, So the only Practical and Fast solution is to
go with currect software language and with English.
[ we Indian will try to develop next technology in Hindi or better in

Narendra,
I think that you just concluded something (on similar lines) to we
should stop teaching maths, physics, chemistry etc to anyone in
non-english medium schools because anyways most of the content
available for these subjects is not available in their local
language..

How and why is that practical? Do you really mean that?

We have very ancient texts and proven knowledge on Maths,
Science, Medicine, Astronomy, Literature all written in Sanskrit,
Pali, and other languages.  Those were not practical? Last I checked,
we are still using Zero, and Ayurveda among other things. Those were
taught in native language during those times, btw. And we didn't
have english medium schools then and for a long time until then.
Probably not until sometime in/and around 1700s or even later.

Cheers!

And this implies, that you're ready to unlearn English variants of
Pythagoras Theorem, Geometry, and Trignometry (in case you know what are
they). And you should simply start learning them in the original Greek
form :). I'm saying this because I assumed you studied Maths from
non-Greek text.
