kshah 452 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 Recently I went to small villages in Gujarat, while talking with them I came to know that Airtel has worked a lot in providing info services for agriculture and they were very happy with them. I asked them about internet, browsers and other stuff. To my surprise, they had some knowledge but were not aware about exact benefits of the same as though they were literate, problem was about information language, i.e. English. There are translation services available but none for Mobile browsers. Now my idea is to make browser based on Opera Mini Model: How it should work 1. Its small foot print browser installable on JAVA based mobile. 2. While setup / start up it ask for language of choice. 3. So when user enter web site address or search address, browser send request to PROXY server and proxy server translate page in desired Indian language - then send to browser.

kshah 452 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 Who would use Android? Also I think translation on proxy would be more precise than device. Also proxy can compress pages better. I think it should be java browser configured to connect translation proxy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
