Google in Tamil – News, Orkut, Blogger and Search
By Find2k | August 19, 2008
The global nature of our mission is reflected in the phrases the “world’s information” and “universally accessible.” To this end, you may have recently read about our 40-language initiative and the story of a community coming together to develop Google search in the Maori language.
Well that seems to be a major goal to reach every ones heart as well
Following on this theme Google would like to highlight a few new products that enable a better online experience for Tamil speakers around the world.
First, Google have just released Google News in Tamil.
Like other Google News editions, they gather stories from the various Tamil news sources on the web and present an automatically- generated summary with links to the most important stories in each section.
Than they found it a bit difficult to enter Tamil text with existing keyboards, so with the help of the transliteration technology Google started converting English text into Indian languages text . For example, using transliteration, you could type “vanakkam” and the tool will convert it into the Tamil script.
Google search in Tamil enables users to start typing in English and automatically get query suggestions in Tamil. If you wanted to enter the query “ponniyin selvan” in Tamil, just start typing it in English - e.g. “ponni” and we will show the Tamil suggestions
Tamil transliteration in Blogger is designed for bloggers publishing content in Tamil when using the English keyboard for text entry.
Tamil transliteration in orkut makes it easier to communicate with friends and family by exchanging scraps in Tamil.
We hope that each of these products will help to bring the benefits of the Internet to the millions of Tamil speakers in India and elsewhere.
Wow! Now that is something, Tamil language in Google News, Google Search, Blogger, Orkut and as we know Google they will add it on to their other products as well.
Enjoy People, so let’s start writing and sharing in our own language.
