Google today announced the launch of Hindi transliteration on Blogger, its Web publishing service. The company also announced its News service in Hindi.

The company believes these launches will enable a majority of people, who are fluent in Hindi, to have quicker, easier access to lots more information, paving the way for creation/consumption of Indian language content.

Google's transliteration technology converts English to phonetically equivalent text in Indian languages. Hindi transliteration on Blogger allows users publish content in Hindi, while using English keyboards for text entry.

For instance, when users type 'mera bharat', the technology will convert this into corresponding Hindi script. Besides, users will be able to switch freely between English and Hindi.

Google's News service in Hindi is based on its innovative clustering technology. The service gathers news stories from various Hindi news sources, and presents a ranked one page view with links to users' favorite news sources.

For all Indian language Web sites, Google supports adoption of Unicode
UTF-8 standard. With the launch of Google News in Hindi, users will be able to reach content from even those news sources which are not yet in this format. And, as these news sites transition, Google will internally convert their content to the Unicode UTF-8 standard.

Speaking on the occasion, Prasad Ram, Centre Head of Google India R&D, said, "Google is committed to promoting the creation and consumption of content in Indian languages, and we're proud to launch our first Indian language edition for Google News and Blogger. These launches will enable our Hindi-speaking users to express themselves better, and access information in a language they are comfortable with."
