Firefox extension to help you type in Indic languages

[indialabs-guide1]

We now have a firefox extension that helps input indic language text
into text areas and input boxes on any page. It uses our newly
launched indic transliteration api to do the actual transliteration.

Nice work!

Two other FireFox extensions which use Google Transliteration:

i am not being biased to any of these addons.
I personally tried 'em all and found that the best add on out there
for tranliteration is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8731
The author rolls out releases based on user requests so fast
When u find a feature missing (none are missing though !) or find a
problem with the addon that u want to be fixed in the next release,
post
a comment to the author and u get that fixed in just a couple of
days.

The number of downloads speak for the usability and popularity

Cheers to the author

My 2 cents:

I like the official G extension because:

1) The transliteration JS files don't load by default and hence do not
slow down most browsing experience.

2) UI is better - instead of options showing up per text area/input
box on each box- most users need to use transliteration on very few
pages - it can be turned on and off per page.

That said, Pratham's approach is entirely same - the only difference
being it seems to be using a hack rather than the official API - to
its credit, it seems to have been coded long before API was available.

All three extensions definitely deserve praise.
