As of now, the option is supported on Galaxy Grand, Galaxy S4 and Tab 3.

I did not find anything to this effect on Samsung India’s website. If you have come across these devices in local languages, please post screenshots and share your experience.

Multilingual names in OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap has support for labels in local languages. Here is a screen shot showing a name is being added in Telugu.

Ideally, we should see the Telugu names on the map itself. But, that is not there yet. However, we can search for Telugu names of places, and OpenStreetMap happily shows the results in Telugu.

Also note that most of the editing interface (iD editor) is available in Telugu, too.
