Being a Malayalee from Kerala, God's Own country, I was searching Wikipedia for articles in Malayalam and found that there are some 300 such articles in Wikipedia. I was happy to see this article on Onam, the State festival of Kerala. But the content page was disappointing because of the strange script. Malayalam is a language which has 56 alphabets, but when we write text, we combine the alpabhets to make nice round letters. The language translator software of Wikipedia was not able to capture this art. Hence the content page of these articles look very funny. But still I am happy to see some content there.
