in the development of major computer systems on the
Railways.

to the Railway's ticket Reservation activities. One
of the key projects undertaken is: NTES/NTES on Web
- National Train Enquiry System .
Our project deals with the design,
development and implementation of localized version
of the existing online website
Architecture:
Trains Enquiry Web site (in English) contains static
and dynamic data in the form of information about trains
and their schedules. This information is taken from
a backend database and displayed through web pages.
For localization of the web site, the English content
of the web site is converted to Hindi. The localization
of the web application involves translation of static
content, generation of local language data from English
data used at the backend, generation of localized UI
elements used in the web application. In addition to
display of information, user interactions in the form
of queries and search facility have been provided in
Hindi.
