The amount of translated documentation is
significantly larger than nothing, although
a lot remains.
For starters, have a look at the architecture

For standalone workstations, yes.
Have you outlined a network and server
setup that can be rolled out quickly?
How about thin clients? Old 486 boxes will
be pretty sluggish as workstations, but they
are quite capable as thin clients. (caveat:
their ISA network interfaces can cause a lot
of hazzle)
How many workstations/terminals will a typical
Indian school have? If it's more than a dozen,
you will want a file server, and a some kind of
central authentication server. Indian schools
are quite big, I presume?
