Hindi included in Google Translate

Google Translate has now included Hindi in its list of languages. So now you can translate 'English to Hindi' or 'Hindi to English'. See also few useful tools available with Google Translate. You can read English sites in Hindi or Make your own site avalable in Hindi or English. The translated text for Hindi would be in Devnagri.

But don't start celebrating yet! Translated text does not follow the grammar or syntax of Hindi. For example "My name is Sukhdev Singh" would be translated as "मेरा नाम है सुखदेव सिंह", when it should be "मेरा नाम सुखदेव सिंह है". You can suggest Google the right translation by clicking on "Suggest a better translation". It may improve translation quality in future by learning from suggestions.

Predictive Input System for English and Indian Languagues

Found a wonderful site lipik.in [via]. It is a service that helps you to save your typing time. It would be especially useful if you are trying to write in Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil or Kannada. It is an online predictive input system that anticipates your intention and tries to complete the words for you as you type. It shows you a on-screen keyboard with a suggestions panel.

If you are a registered user, it learns your writing style and suggests you better. You can store your documents online as well as search Internet from words in your documents.

Evolving Web Cult of Hindi Language - “हिन्दीब्लॉग्स डॉट कॉम”

Popularity of Blogs (चिट्ठा) in India is really picking up and giving the much required boost to Indian Languages and scripts. Just take a note of hindiblogs.com:
.."भाषा राष्ट्र की वह शक्ति है, जिसके माध्यम से वह आंतरिक संवाद क़ायम करता है। व्यक्ति राष्ट्र की इकाई है और ब्लॉग व्यक्ति की आवाज़ है। इन दोनों का समन्वय ही हिन्दी ब्लॉग जगत् है। “हिन्दीब्लॉग्स डॉट कॉम” इसी हिन्दी ब्लॉग जगत् को समर्पित है। यहाँ पर आप हिन्दी चिट्ठा संसार में हो रही नवीन हलचलों का अनुभव कर सकते हैं और हिन्दी के ब्लॉग्स की नयी प्रविष्टियों को यहाँ पढ़ सकते हैं।"..
And not just Blogs, people now express themselves in local languages. Take the example of Hindi Bhasha eGroups on Google Groups (हिन्द भाषा ई-समूह) having around four hundred plus members. Easy to use tools like http://uninagari.kaulonline.com/ are around to help people like me to try out typing in Dev Nagari. Google Indic Transliteration is even better.

Information Professionals will now have to rethink on developing skills and tools for managing online as well as printed knowledge being produced in Indian Languages and Scripts.
