Hi,
I am trying to get a translation of my ODK survey in Devanagri script for
Nepali language. I realize ODK does not yet support this script (or am I
wrong?!), so I was trying to render text using the 'Batch Renderer'
(http://23.21.114.69/text_renderer/). The resulting .png file had an
unusable image of latin (English) letters with brackets and commas.
I assume others have successfully conducted a survey in Hindi without
taking images of every part of text. Am I using an incompatible font? Any
help is much appreciated!

Thanks both - I'm trying to go easy route of transliteration of Nepali to
roman alphabet instead of using images of script. If I do try again, I'll
report back on either using CSV converter tool or Open Office.

We transliterated the Nepali words using roman letters (english alphabet)
so the form had options in English and Nepali, both in roman letters - not
ideal but our enumerators read English so it worked out. I'll be interested
to hear if you get the devanagri script to work!

Thank you so much for the response. So, how did you manage to do it
Nepali?
Here are the steps that I use to create Nepali fonts for ODK forms:
Go to www.unicodenepali.com and translate the desired words in nepali. This site transliterates roman letters to Nepali words.
Copy all those words to your excel file where you are creating the ODK form.
Once you are done finalising, click on SAVE AS option where you will find TOOLS option beside SAVE button. [Make sure you have Windows PC, this option is not available on MAC]
Under the TOOLS option, click on WEB OPTIONS. Go to ENCODING tab and select UNICODE (UTF-8) for "SAVE THIS DOCUMENT AS: "
Save the file.
You can now convert the excel file to xml using online converter on ODK webpage.
Congrats ! You are done with display of Nepali fonts !!
Regards,
Ashok
