For all these reasons, it is satisfying to see a new group of translators stepping up onto the plate and help with the Hindi localisation of MediaWiki at translatewiki.net. The effect of an improving localisation is two fold; the immediate effect is that the user experience improves and slowly but surely the page views go up as well.
Growing the reader base in India is really important; we want to double the number of readers in the coming five years and, this increase is expected to come from people in the "global south". With a great user experience and relevant content this is certainly possible.
When you read my blog you will find that I hardly ever write about the Hindi community. The main reason is that I am not aware of the stories that are waiting to be told.
Thanks,
