International Mother Language Day</a>, we announced support for EAI in Office 365 and Outlook.com. We are focusing on Outlook and webmail for now, though we will follow up regarding other mail clients soon.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Likewise we are focusing on Indian scripts now, because Microsoft India is taking the lead on this announcement.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">UASG is mentioned and a snippet of content from UASG-007 is used. Also, we make a callout to XGenPlus as a Microsoft partner and source of India script language mailboxes.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We are expecting this to be well-received in India. I have listed some English-language uptake so far, below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
