I think looking at dictionaries, there are lot of words exchanged
from various languages and they have become part of a certain
language.<br>
But there is a difference between slang and official words.<br>
Secondly dictionaries can have some words which are official but
never used in daily language such as "kal falak " as in Keyboard or
"nave and jama " as in Debit and credit in accounts.<br>
"prapatra " as in file is another example.<br>
So these can be in dictionaries but can't be really used in the
interfaces when we do translation.<br>
Such words should be transliterated is what I feel.<br>
So dictionaries should have official words.<br>
Happy hacking.<br>

because there are some words there in pure Indian

understand them.<br>
like "<big><big><u><i>kalfalak</i></u></big></big>"

agree these words are not in use but these are the case
with the words which got popular because their
origin/invention is native to some other country. Like
Biscuit is a french word and widely adopted similarly
most of the Science and Technical words are adopted from
Greeks so, we can live with that in addition to have
their hindi or language specific counterparts, but
polluting a language with its slang will not be a good
option.</div>

I don't think its a good idea to spoil the
dictionary of a language with inadequate mixing
of unnecessary urban words. However it will be
much better to have hindi words in hindi
dictionary by hindi I mean pure hindi and there
also please don't add urban hinglish words and
also spoil hindi, if anyone wants they can make
separate dictionary or they can add the word to
the dictionary database according to their need
but it should not go bundled by default with the
distribution. Moreover jugaad is not a pure
hindi word its a slang and we should not promote
slang on the name of hindi, much more adequate
word bhi prabandh. So, please don't add tadka
and Garam Masala in pure Salad to make it feel
like chicken Biryani. If anyone wants chicken
Biryani of their flavor they will make
themselves by adding the ingredients of their
choice. </p>

<br>
While there are various English spell-checkers
in Debian and other distros. there isn't an
Indian english spell-checker for various
languages. It would be nice to have such a
spell-checker in hamara which will reduce the
time it takes for a new user to start using
the system. The spell-checker would be useful
in many ways :-<br>
<br>
a. We would know words that we use and those
get added to the database and hence new
release of the package (say every 3 months or
so).<br>
<br>
b.Each regional language has its special
'tadka' or twist to English terms. For e.g.
'Jugaad' while being a hindi/devanagri word is
also written in English and is very much part
of the Hinglish generation. There is also a
movie which just came out which reinforces the
term<br>

rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugaadi_Dot_Com</a>
which is a Punjabi movie.<br>
<br>
A list of such Indian-English words, updation,
support etc. would make hamara a pretty unique
offering.<br>
