PAN Localization Project (www.PANL10n.net) aims to advance human resource, technology and policy development to promote local language computing. Ability to do computing in local languages is necessary for effectively using ICTs for development of Asian community, most of which cannot read or write in the more prevalent languages of the Internet.

To further this cause, PAN Localization Support Network is created to gather experts and developers working on Asian localization on a single platform to network, exchange ideas and help each other achieve Asian localization. This forum will provide opportunity to its members to interact at philosophical, theoretical, and practical levels to address technology and language issues and to get support and guidance to develop local language applications.
