Google launches Urdu transliteration

Google transliterate now works for Urdu as well

Google transliterate now works for Urdu as well

Google has launched this new application where you can transliterate English in to Urdu. Specially designed for Pakstani users, this application is simple and easy. All you need to do is to write something in roman English and hit ’space’ button, Google will automatically transliterate the written word into Urdu. The cool feature of this app is that it gives you a number of possible choices which could have been the exact transliteration of the input word.

This application goes fine for many cases but for some words it fails to deliver. As in the case of letter ‘g’ this application translates it into ‘گ ‘ and its other various forms but it does not considers ‘ج’ as the transliteration.

Transliteration is basically the representation of a word in to the closest corresponding letters of  a different script.

June 20th, 2009 | Written by Alam

The Prime Minister has ‘promised’ not to impose the 20 paisa tax per sms. The news came after the meeting between the Prime Minister and the Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis, Dr. Farooq Sattar.

Earlier the government had decided to impose a tax of 20 paisa per sms, killing all the bundle sms packages, in the federal budget of financial year 2009-10. The tax was due to be imposed from July 1, 2009. The youth protested against the imposition of tax on Friday. Teenagers were seen angry as they chanted slogans against the government in front of Lahore press club. The Cellphone operators also had a fear that the tax will hamper the growth of the industury.

Removing the 20 paisa tax per sms will bring a sigh of relief for those who love texting while others may still use the SMS screening applications to avoid unwanted texts. :D
