That's cool. Another Google offering
I just tried out good young Google's online transliteration offering.
Here is a well known Gandhian thought that reads thus in four different languanges. All I had to do to was type out in English letters the word / words of any of the available Indian languages (Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada as of now)
Satyameva Jayate is of course a phrase in Sanskrit.

தமிழ் (Tamil) - வாய்மையே வெல்லும (Vaaymaye vellum)
മലയാളം (Malayalam) - സത്യമേവ ജയതേ
हिन्दी (Hindi) - सत्यमेव जयते
ಕನ್ನಡ (Kannada) - ಸತ್ಯಮೇವ ಜಯತೆ
But hush! Not a word to my son about this.....he's just started attending classes where he learns to read and write Malayalam. [Aside: This is his father's tongue, but submitted as his mother-tongue in school records; the mother's tongue being the much older sibling Tamil]
Sorry I digressed. As I said, my son, happy attending classes now, will be happier to give the classes a miss if he learns of Google's wonderful tool.
So mum's word is: mum is the word!

Google has plenty of these friendly devices, the way it has been innovating and diversifying.... Imagine two kids founded Google; and one of them Larry Page is just about grown up to get married...!
ReplyDeleteExtremely useful device, thanks for hunting it down and presenting it to us on a platter. Not just your son, I shall also find it useful!
