You're talking about testing the keyboard layout and fonts. What about
localization of software?

According to Pootle, except possibly for XO-Bundled (89%), the Nepali
localization is not in good shape. The rest of the modules are less
than half translated, and Etoys less than 1%.

Sayamindu, how many people do we have working on this? What
organizations are involved? Why aren't there more?

And 40 spares? Any idea what you want to do with them?
