Default Indian Language Support in Google Docs & Google Apps


Google Docs in Google Apps now supports all popular local languages of India including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi and Oriya.

To switch the interface from English to an Indian language, go to settings and choose your desired language from the drop down.
