Bhutan's first Dzongkha website
On January 6, the centre for Bhutan studies (CBS) formally launched the Dzongkha version of its website. Designed by a JOCV IT specialist, Sakaida Hideaki, over a period of a month and a half, the website is as informative as its English original. "The technique used is very basic and a reader can read through the pages without any special settings," said the designer. A CBS researcher, Dorji Penjor, said that the need for the Dzongkha version of the website was felt basically because the English website proved useless to those who were only Dzongkha literate.

The website uses the National Library font Pem Tshewang and contains all the English version's links.

"We have translated all our publications in Dzongkha enriching the website for the users," said Dorji Penjor. People can even have access to the namthars not available elsewhere." The website uses the National Library font Pem Tshewang and contains all the English version's links.
