Indic Transliteration
I don't know if anyone noticed, but Google released an indic transliteration web-app, for Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. It's pretty awesome, from what I can tell although I don't really have indic skills. Not only do you not need to type with crazy capitalization thingies as other IMEs have, but it lets you add your own words if the list of choices that each typed word generates is off. You basically, just click each word and kaboom.
This comes from a post on Google's blog, where they talk about including this transliterator in blogger.com amongst other things. Incidentally, if you ever wonder what jobs linguists can get, there's one of 'em. ;) Go forth and transliterate!
I hope by calling it 'indic', they intend to add more. ;) Currently, Hindi is the only non-dravidian language on that list, no?
