Thursday, March 15, 2007:
Google has launched Hindi transliteration on Blogger, Google's web publishing service, and Google News, news service in Hindi. Google believes that these two launches will enable the masses conversant in Hindi to have quicker and easier access to more information thus enabling creation and consumption of Indian language content.

Google's transliteration technology enables the conversion from English text to phonetically equivalent text in Indian languages. Hindi transliteration on Blogger enables users to publish content in Hindi while using English keyboards for text entry. As an example, users can write 'mera Bharat' and this feature will convert it into the corresponding Hindi script. Keeping in mind that the audience is bilingual in many cases, Google allows the users to freely switch from English to Hindi and back.
Google News in Hindi, based on Google's innovative clustering technology, gathers news stories from various Hindi news sources and presents a ranked one page view with links to users favourite news sources in their favourite news sections. Though Google backs and encourages the adoption of Unicode UTF-8 standard by all Indian language sites, this launch would enable users to reach content from even those news sources which are not yet in this format. As these news sites transition, Google will internally convert their content to the Unicode UTF-8 standard for the benefit of its users.
"Google is committed to promoting the creation and consumption of content in Indian languages and we're proud to launch our first Indian language edition for Google News and Blogger. These launches will enable our Hindi-speaking users to express themselves better and access information in a language they are comfortable with," said Prasad Ram, centre head, R&D, Google India.
"Google search is already available in Indian languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil and Marathi. We had also recently launched the Google Toolbar search bar in Hindi. At Google, we know that more information means more choice, more freedom and ultimately more power for people," added Ram.
