For Windows 7 or Windows Vista users

[Viswanathan (a z h a g i . c o m)]

Dear all,

 

To type in Tamil in ANY application in Windows Vista/7, you just need to remember 'F10' key. Nothing more. In other words, start Azhagi application, start the application in which you wish to type in Tamil, press 'F10' and start typing in Tamil. That is all to it. For those who need detailed steps, here they are below.

• Start Azhagi.
• Ensure that 'Unicode input' is kept TICKED under 'Preferences' menu of Azhagi.
• Open ANY external application/window, whatever it may be (MS-Word, MS-Powerpoint, Excel, mail compose area of Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc., blogs' comments area, browsers' text input areas, chat windows, etc. etc.)
• Press 'F10' key (just once). [If you are using a laptop, please see 'help tip' at the bottom]
• Azhagi's tray icon will (should) change color to red. Azhagi's tray icon can be found at the right bottom of your screen, usually near the date/time indicator.
• Once Azhagi's tray icon changes color to red, start typing in English and it will appear in Tamil automatically. That is all to it. [Please note that Latha font is chosen automatically by Windows for Tamil. In case of email clients (say Yahoo! mail), it may not show up as 'Latha' in the fonts list but user need not be concerned about it.]
• If you wish to switch back to typing in English, press 'F10' again. Azhagi's tray icon will change color to normal. Thereafter, whatever you type in English will appear in English itself.

Important Note: 

You can type in any other Indian language too (if you know the same) at any time, by selecting the appropriate language. To select a particular language, press 'F9' at any time to display the 'language selector' window, select the language of your choice and press 'F9' again to close the 'language selector' window. Languages supported: Tamil, Hindi, Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Konkani, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Oriya, Assamese, etc. Details on key-mappings for all languages at  http://azhagi.com/multi.html

 

Help Tip for laptops:

If you are using a laptop, please note that there is a key (usually named " fn " and usually adjacent to the left control key), which changes the mode of operation of the function keys. So, if pressing 'F10' does not change Azhagi's tray icon color to red, then press 'F10' while the "fn" key is kept pressed. i.e. press " fn+F10 ".

 

With prayers and warm regards
Viswanathan, love all - serve all
