any more UTF-8 websites out there?
Jeff
BBC Hindi:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/
(you can also type in www.bbchindi.com)
and Google's World/Hindi directory:
http://directory.google.com/Top/World/Hindi/
which gives descriptions of the sites in Hindi using Devanagari. As
far as I have found, most of the sites list use fonts instead of UTF-8
(except BBC's Hindi news).
Does anybody know of any good websites (news, literature, or anything
else really) using UTF-8 encoding?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/urdu also uses UTF-8 encoding.
http://azadkhayal.tripod.com/baba.htm is my collection of Sufi poetry
in Punjabi that uses UTF-8 encoding.

Hi Jeff,
I've created some a couple of homepages in Devanagari just for fun.
Check them out..
BTW, using UTF-8 for Indic languages is a recent phenomenon that is
gaining popularity gradually. I'm sure you'll see more and more
websites that will use it.
I'm one of the translators for the Marathi edition of Google:

Also, if you do searches for Devanagari words in Devnagari (using
UTF-8), you'll get a lot of UTF-8 sites.
Let me know what you think about my pages..
Cheers,
Sunil

These pages are cool! Especially the google one.
Are you an employee of google or a volunteer? I just want to know the
same thing has been done for Hindi, and if not, do they need
volunteers? [I would like to be one].

I'm just a translation volunteer for Google's Marathi interface. It's
very easy to become one.
BTW, the URLs in the previous email got replaced by the Aksharmala
interface I was using. Here they are again.

The Google interface: http://www.google.com/intl/mr/
I hope this encourages more and more people to develop
standard-encoded homepages and webpages.
One of the main advantages I've found is that you can search using
Devanaagri terms. For e.g., here's a search I did for गाने:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%87&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=mr

Is there support available from anywhere for the Nastaliq style for
UTF-8 encoded Urdu webpages? I don't like the standard display style
used by Windows.

now. And almost all of the Hindi phrases (Roman) that you see on the
Hindi homepage (www.google.com/intl/hi/) of Google were contrinuted by
truly yours (along with many others for inside pages). After knowing
about the Unicode support, I have submitted some of the phrases again
in Devanagari, however they are yet to show up on the page. And I plan
to do so for more and more words/phrases, as time permits.
As Sunil says, the process of becoming a volunteer is easy and the
task of translating (and transcribing in Devanagari Unicode) needs
many people. Would love to see more people working on the same.
