[datameet] transliteration tools?

2014-04-24 Thread Avinash Celestine

I used Google's API to do this a while back http://thejeshgn.com/2011/02/04/batch-transliterating-names-into-kannada-using-google-api/ Its not the best but works for most cases. Mine was from English to Kannada, you can probably try other way. -- Thejesh GN ⏚ ತೇಜೇಶ್ ಜಿ.ಎನ್ http://thejeshgn.com
