In late 2004, Firefox localization work started for two of the Indic languages (Gujarati and Punjabi) and respective language communities managed to get both of the languages included with Firefox 1.x release by 2005. Look at the status of the Indic languages for Firefox today… 11 Indic languages! It’s amazing! Three cheers for all localization contributors as well as good support from the Mozilla and Mozilla l10n team.

Congratulations to all the Indic localization teams. The growth from the release date of Firefox 3 to the release date of Firefox 3.5 has been quite impressive and it’s all due to the great community of contributors. Ankit, thanks for this chart. Nicely done!
