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!

Wonderful :wah:

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.

Sadly, your post lacks any recognition or respect of other languages or other people with different backgrounds other than punjabi for that matter. Its not the sound of the words that matter, its the meaning of the message that really matters. If you do not translate the sggs into other languages, how will they know what the guru said? Learn gurmakhi? so now gurmakhi is the only language to learn now? is it higher than all others? Hell no, people should be able to learn sikhi in there own language, as it would apeal to them more, and at the same time give them the opportunity to not have to learn a whole new way of learning.
