That fixed the problem. You must get all the KDE apps in English and most of the Gnome apps in Sinhala.

You must get all the KDE apps in English and most of = the Gnome apps in Sinhala.
KDE Sinhala version will be release with KDE = 4.3.2 or KDE 4.3.3 .

there was a bug in KDE, mixing Indic characters with English, but it fi= xed now.
