Building the Indic web
May 6, 2008

We have come a long way from our
first Indic transliteration release
to our current support for transliteration in 5 languages -- Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu -- for a broader set of Google products. We are also happy to release our very first
English to Hindi translation service
. Read on to understand how you can use these services to create, communicate and search in your language, and more.
Type in your language easily on our
Indic Transliteration Labs page
.
Add the
transliteration gadget
to your iGoogle page.
Express your views and create more content:
Blogger
.
Scrap your friends in your language:
orkut
.
Find information:
Google Suggest
in your language.
You can now also try out our brand new
English to Hindi translation
service, and the
translated search
feature that lets you query
in Hindi, obtain search results for the translated query in English, and then see the Hindi translations of these results.
For more information on all of these, read
our press release
.
