I was using Indic translitration bot in GMail chat for typing in my regional language Malayalam. This method was quite good, but it can be done only via a group chat. The bot will convert the English text to the regional language after we type. This method was not convenient as the text will be displayed in English as well as in the regional language also.
Recently I found another technique explained by google. Run an applet in browser which will make the text entry field in any page to do transliteration as you type in English. We only need to bookmark the code. When ever translitration is needed on any web page, just need to click the bookmarklet. Viola !.. the text box on the page will get translitration functionality.
Check out the link's for more details-
Even though this method is more convenient than using bot, I wish to have inbuilt transliteration functionality in GMail chat. Typing in mother tongue can express more !!!!
