Translation In Gurudwara

CaramelChocolate · #1 (**permalink**) 01-Aug-2005, 16:28 PM

Referring back to the language barrier for Sikhs post, I went to the Gurudwara yesterday and it was good to see they were translating stuff and apparently they do it every weekend using SikhiToTheMax software... it would be easy to me to operate this software as I am quite good at powerpoint and that sort of software, but I need more knowledge of punjabi... although you can search through transliteration it is still quite hard for me to pick up what they are saying... SO... I think someone from that Gurudwara has a friend in my area who might be able to teach me Punjabi... it's going to be so hard for me but if it all happens I'm willing to do it... YAY!

John, I hope you realize, you are leading the way for many other places, where such implementation may be one of the foremost needs.

Feel free to reach us regarding your Punjabi needs.

I forget who mentioned it, one user suggested that we create a thread for punjabi learning: say one word on punjab and give the difenition.

What do you mean? Yes, since it is the word of the guru's, i will treat it with respect (read with covered hair, ash hands before reading, and etc).

well if you live in the lower mainland area in Canada, BC, you can go to the "satnam trust" that is near the khalsa school. If you are not around there, please pm for more info!
