Hadn't looked, I was just saying thanks as in I was going to but now that I've had a chance, its set to the forum default. :)

Will other mobile platforms be supported by a generic mobile site and will auto-detect be added?

Just a heads up. Not sure if it's still being worked on and not sure if there is a mobile version yet but on my phone, Samsung Wave, it doesn't look pretty at all and doesn't auto detect it as a mobile device.

I'm surprised to hear that!
I would have thought that you guys (not you in particular :P) had a mixed relationship with the English language, because of India's history of colonialism.... Generally, freed countries tend to ban anything that reminds people of this past. I know that use of French language in Algeria is only officially 'tolerated', for instance...
It isn't like that in here, at least in metropolitan areas. English is fiairly commonly spoken and we have plenty of western customs (malls, pubs, restaurants, clothing etc) around (hell, we have more western customs around than Indian ones). English is also a primary language (and one of the 22 official languages recognized in the constitution) for most of the schools plus I  haven't met anyone who despised English.

Silly question -- why is the site in English...?
Because it's easier to read on web and most of the population on internet here can read English fine. Hindi would actually make the scenario worse as it's harder to maintain plus many of the current generation can read English faster than Hindi (I myself can't read Hindi fluently :P).
Why not make it a mulch-lingual site so as not to lose out on your key demographic but also to keep the wider audience happy!?
Because none of the people I have ever met or my father has met actually uses Hindi for communication over Internet. We actually surveyed this with our clients.
No problem, it was just a suggestion as I've come across it many of times before, where there wasn't any demographic for a certain language and when that language was added the demographic grew for the simple fact that it was available now. It obviously involves a bit more work then just creating the multilingual site but you get the point.
