MS avails IE 9 in 11 Indian languages

The Economic Times.

Microsoft may well be a late entrant in this space behind Google Chrome and home-grown browser Epic that is built specially for the Indian market.

According to the Times of India, this is not the first time Microsoft is engaging with the Indian market.

The company has a few India-specific tools like Indic language input tool, phonetic keyboard that has language support, and features such as email, instant messenger are also available in local languages.

Experts feel that this could increase Microsoft's prominence in the browser market but will do only that.

The availability of Internet Explorer 9 in Indian regional languages is part of Microsoft's ongoing efforts to promote local language computing in India, thereby taking IT to the masses, reports India Infoline.
