What is transliteration?
Blogger offers an automatic transliteration option for
converting Roman characters to the characters used in the following languages:
Amharic
Arabic
Bengali
Greek
Persian
Gujarati
Kannada
Hindi
Malayalam
Marathi
Nepali
Punjabi
Russian
Sanskrit
Serbian
Tamil
Telugu
Tigrinya
Urdu
This lets you type these languages phonetically in English
script and still have them appear in their correct alphabet. Note that this is
not the same as translation -- the sound of the words is converted from one
alphabet to the other, not the meaning. For example, typing 'hamesha'
transliterates into Hindi as:
Enabling the Transliteration Feature
To enable this feature, go to the Settings | Language and
formatting page, select Enable for the transliteration option, and select your
preferred language. This setting will affect all blogs on your account.
This button toggles the transliteration feature on and off.
When it's on, it affects the title, labels, and body of your post. The letters
of a word will appear in a box with alternative suggestions as you type them
until you reach the end of the word. As soon as you type a space or a
punctuation mark, the letters will be converted to the new characters, like
this:
If you prefer to do the transliteration all at once, rather
than as you go, you can type your text with the transliteration button turned
off. Then select all your text and click the button. Everything selected will
be transliterated at once, and you can go back and edit it as desired. (Note:
This only works in the body of the post, not in the title or labels.)
The transliteration will attempt to match the sounds of the
letters as accurately as possible between the two alphabets. If you find that
it's incorrect, however, you can fix it.
