Please check out: http://bhomiyo.com/xliteratetext.aspx

And select "iTRANS" scheme in the left side panel. Type or copy/paste in iTRANS format and your output will display in right side panel.

Few items from iTRANS are left as such - tilda (~) and candra o (.c) signs.

Let me know if you think something should be corrected here.

Conceptually this has been done by many others so this is not really new. But since users were asking that there should be such a tool made available on Bhomiyo, its being added. It has following features:

* Type in phonetic English and it will convert it into the language of your selection.  The conversion occurs when space-bar, arrow keys or such control keys are pressed.

* Copy your Unicode content and paste it into Left side text box, click ">" button and the target transliteration will be stored in the right side text box.

* Click on "How?" link on the page to get help on typing. If you have been typing using other tools then this is not really different.

If you use it and have any feedback, please post it here so I get chance to correct this.

This is possible using a small Javascript. Here is how you do it using BlogSpot.

1) Click on Template -> Page Elements in your blogger menu. You will see following type of screen.

You should have one Page Element for Transliteration Links. Click to Edit the Element.

Enter the following Code in the Edit Window and Save Changes. And test the code. Site [http://pranjalbhatt.blogspot.com/] is used here as example, but you can use your site address.

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function xliterate(obj)
{
var href = obj.href;
var ndx = href.indexOf(".xliterate");
if (ndx > 0)
href = href.substr(0, ndx + 11);
var host = location.hostname;
var path = location.pathname;
ndx = location.pathname.indexOf(".xliterate");
if (ndx > 0)
{
host = ''
path = location.pathname.substr(ndx+11);
}
var url = href + host + path;
//alert(url);
window.open(url, "bhomiyo");
return false;
}
//-->
</script>

<a href="http://bhomiyo.com/en.xliterate/pranjalbhatt.blogspot.com" onclick="xliterate(this);return false;">Roman Hindi</a>

<a onclick="xliterate(this);return false;" href="http://bhomiyo.com/gu.xliterate/pranjalbhatt.blogspot.com">Gujarati</a>

When you copy above code and paste it in your editor, make sure that all the html tags are intact and in correct syntax. You can copy and paste it to NOTEPAD first and then copy from NOTEPAD and paste it into other editor to avoid any errors. Specially there is issue with the quotes when Wordpress renders it. So, be careful for quotes.

If you can't get it working - send me an email (INFO at BHOMIYO dot COM) and I will send you this code file as attachment.

The advantages are

• You get wider viewership as all the Hindi readers can now read your site.
• Search Engines will index your site in Hindi too. Bhomiyo transliterated sites appear in Google Results and every day there are many users visiting such sites.
• Hindi News Columnist or Journalists can read Urdu news papers and get different perspectives.
• May be some day - India and Pakistan both realize that we are saying "same" thing just it appears different...

The urdu transliteration does have its shortcomings - not all words are being transliterated properly. But you can help improving it by correcting the online wordlist. Your changes to the wordlist will affet the transliteration after an hour.

And STILL, the Unicode URLS are not working..

Post your comments here if any...

Since 1st of Jun, people tried out Urdu-to-Hindi trasnliteration for around 142 times. Since by manipulating the characters only, the transliteration is not accurate, an online list of Urdu-to-Hindi word map is put up that people can help improving.

Go to: http://www.bhomiyo.com/docs/helpurduhindi.aspx. You will see following screen:

You can type in Hindi (either with your IME or with bhomiyo keyboard by checking on the box at top) - the correct word under "Correct Hindi" column. If you have any comments, you can put comment too.

And then mark "DONE" box. Marking the DONE box will SAVE your changes.

Marking "DELETE" checkbox will delete the word from list - this will happen when you click on Next Page or refresh the page.

If you have comments, please let us know.

Try out Bhomiyo's UrduToHindi Transliteration - you will see that it has improved now...

It has four items:

1) Site Visit Count

2) Transliteration Request for Language Count

3)  Url Referrer Count

4) Last 10 IP Addresses who visited

You can Enter your site address to check how many times your site was accessed by users through Bhomiyo transliteration.  The count also includes the Search Engine requests and that's why some numbers may seem too high.

If you don't find your site, try entering with or without 'www' at the beginning. And do not add Path. Bhomiyo only stores the domain name for statistics.

Following is an example of total site visits as of 6/5 and 6/6.

http://bhomiyo.com/docs/statistics.aspx

Here is a modest try to convert Urdu text into Hindi. It's no where closer to being perfect but may be this is first step.

Go to: http://bhomiyo.com/XLiteratePage.aspx
Enter an Urdu site: http://www.voanews.com/urdu/
Select "Urdu to Hind" in the Language drop down. And click GO.

If you know Urdu letters and somewhat Hindi you can help me out developing a transliteration logic. OR you can give me a map of URDU letters to ENGLISH letters and I can do the rest.

If you have any comments regarding the topic, please post it here to have everything at one place.

Above content is in Sanskrit but written in English.  Similarly it can be written in Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil etc.

Bhomiyo.com has a tool "X-Literate" that trans literates content from one language to another.

- The Content should be in Unicode

http://sanskrit.gde.to/all_sa/
I found this through bhomiyo.com - while searching for वेदसारशिवस्तोत्रम. I found the वेदसारशिवस्तोत्रम. on wiki but I also found this site where there were lot of sanskrit literature including Gita, Vedas, Ramayan, Upnishad and all you can think of.

Please surely visit the sanskrit site and send you appreciation to them for bringing our vedic literature so closure to us.

Best thing was to search occurrences of 'मानव' or 'मन' in Gita. Open up gita page

http://sanskrit.gde.to/all_sa/bhagvadnew_sa.html

And then search in browser for words you like and you can find out what chapter contains those words in Gita.

Arial Unicode MS - is the one developed by Microsoft and provided with MS Office 2003 onwards. This contains all the language fonts.

What language you are looking for may be I can direct you to some fonts. Following are some font names.

Latha - Tamil
Mangal (Devanagari)
Raavi (Gurmukhi and Devanagari)
Shruti (Gujarati and Devanagari)
Tunga (Kannada and Devanagari)

Visit this link to download some fonts:
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html

let me know if there are any other issues.

"Laxmi Mittal Daughter Marriage Details"

"મારે છોકરી જોઇએ છે"

"પિયા હાજિ અલિ"

Well there may be more but big list to look at.

However, some people are having trouble typing some letters. For them,

Please use "A" to type અ

Use forward slash / to type 1/2 r. For example in Pratibhas you need p/rtiwas.

Thanks for using Bhomiyo.

Advantage was MSN link for the same was expired, but Yahoo link was current. So without searching again I could see Yahoo results.

k - क

g - ग

m - म

Characters that can not have specific key in English keyboard are mapped as below:

w - भ, q - ख, 1 - घ, 2 - ठ, 3 - ढ, 4- थ, 5- ध, 6- छ, 7- श, 8- ष, x - क्ष

To write भारत, you have to type 'wart'.

For some characters, you have to either click on the displayed keyboard or you have to know how the unicode characters can be combined to generate other characters. For example, ज्ञ is already available in keyboard, but, द्व has to be typed as d\v.

Typing \ makes the previous character 1/2. For many characters you can type them in Capital to type 1/2 character. E.g. K, M.

If you have any typing difficulties, please let us know and continue using Bhomiyo to search in Hindi .

Online keyboard for Indian languages like Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam are provided that helps typing the keywords.

Please explore and provide your feedback here.
