Added transliteration support for Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam

[indic...@gmail.com]

Hi,

We recently added support for 4 more Indic languages in addition to
Hindi :

Tamil : http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic/Tamil
Telugu : http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic/Telugu
Kannada : http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic/Kannada
Malayalam : http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic/Malayalam

We encourage you to try out the new language additions and post any
comments you have on this discussion group!

Thanks!
Google Indic Team.

Thanks a lot. It does a great job. :) Most of all, I like how it is
predicting the correct word. Hope to see these integrated into gmail,
gtalk, etc...

Congrats for the google team for coming up with an intuitive
transliteration scheme. Tamil transliteration tools have so far been
completely user dependent to specify the correct keys to achieve the
wanted spelling whereas google transliteration gusses the word like a
mobile phone dictionary servie.

I have only two suggestion:

1. for letters involving ந ன ண ல ள ழ ர ற we can get lot of different
words for the same keystroke and the google suggestion is not always
accurate. in these cases it is a pain to click on the word and to
scroll down to pick the right word. instead u can provide an option to
use the down arrow key or page down key (instead of click) and press
enter to pick the right word.

2. while new users will find it easy to use this service thousands of
users who already use the traditional transliteration scheme, (for
example: http://www.higopi.com/ucedit/Tamil.html ), the tamilnadu
government specified tamil99 keyboard users, bamini keyboard users
(mostly from sri lanka), traditional tamil typewriting keyboard users
will find it difficult to use this google service. I would highly
suggest to include these options of keyboard as a drop down under
tamil tab in the google transliteration service.

Googe guess work may be very useful for typing in mobile phone where
we have limited keys, whereas in a computer we have enough keys it can
be faster to folow the correct keys than taking the time to pause and
seect the right word from the guesses.

Thanks a lot. It works wonderfully well . It is great. We can write it
in Kannada and send that as email also.

If there is a option to "save" whatever we types then it will become
much more powerful.

thanks

How about including this in the chat of gmail , so that the users will
have an option to select the language for chat, and use the same while
chatting.
If this is your next move, keep rocking .....

The Editor looks cool..
I have some suggestion.
I liked the dropdown functionality very much.

If exact mappings between english and tamil letters are displayed in
screen, will be more useful for fast translation,
as like in other websites.

Grammar checks can be implemented and error corrections and
suggestions may handled automatically.

And one more suggestion is online repository for new tamil words.
Where new tamil word suggestions and recommendations are logged and
Online tamil dictionary can be maintained for translation reference.

Bala

Wow great tool, one more feather is waiting. I am Tamil99 keyboard
user, roman/thaminglish typing is pain for me, can you add tamil99
keyboard so that users can select thaminglish, tamil99 or english.
Thaminglish is good for newbees but for existing tamil99, bamini
people it is not that much use.

I am not able to type நெடில் "நி". How to type it?. Many times "Edit"
does not get enabled.

Thanks

Hi Google Team,

Thanks for providing this tool. Very good and useful tool as like
google's other products.

In tamil, if you provide the english key combinations (if the user
want to see) - it will be useful for complicated words. I want to
type "ஊறிறறு" - here in the third character should have dot "." but
not able to do.

We hope Google provide tamil typing facility in Google Chat also SOON.

to the language which i want, but when i am copy this and pasting some
where its not coming, it just showing some boxes. is there any
possiblity to get exactly which language i want.

please advice me if it's possible.

Your transaltion is out of the world. I have never seen something like
this. But may I ask you also to do one more useful thing. Can you
provide apt tanslation for specific words like say : Best Practice or
Brainstorming and so on. I can send you a whole file on such words if
this can be done.

This is really an excellent stuff... The auto correction and finding

[satishk...@gmail.com]

I have tried the transliteration in Telugu with this URL.
Telugu : http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic/Telugu
I found that this was very useful in creating the telugu content.
Thanks for such a good tool.

You can find some example here:

Thanks for wonderful addition. It would be nice to see Gurmukhi/
Punjabi support coming up.

[eWorlder]
