Bhutan's
first Dzongkha website: Design |
 |
The
website uses the National Library font Pem Tshewang and contains all the
English version's links. The publications that can be accessed from the
website includes all the volumes of the bi-annual journal of Bhutan studies,
Bhutan's national bibliography, discussion papers on various subjects like
the Gross National Happiness, and monographs, a series of publications
on various subjects authored by both Bhutanese and foreign scholars.
Some
of the monographs included in the website are Historical Profile of
Dechenphu Gyenyen Neykhang, The Necklace of Pearls: Biography of
the 13th Druk Desi Sherab, The Gem-Necklace of Short Biography of
Hungrel Dung Dung and His Descendants, and The Introductory Biography
of the Hereditary Prince Incarnation (The First Zhabdrung, Ngawang Namgyel). |

Learning Dzongkha takes more time than English at the initial stage
Designing
a Dzongkha website at present is actually impossible since Dzongkha is
yet to be incorporated into MS Word. As such the new website has
its own share of shortcomings. A corporate webmaster said that the CBS
Dzongkha website was completely image-based. He added that an image-based
website allows limited content and is not user freindly.

"Updating
information in such a website is also difficult and tedious," he said.
"There is also no question of running keyword searches." But Sakaida Hideaki
is happy that a break through has been made. "We have finally harnessed
the technology to promote the national language and CBS is the right institute
to launch such an important website," Sakaida Hideaki said.
