or Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam or Kannada has become super-easy now, thanks to the Google Indic Transliteration tool. This is a no-mess, no-fuss device and all you need to start typing in any of these Indian languages are the Ctrl and g keys - and knowledge of the language, of course!

I dearly love to write in my mother tongue but installing the font everytime I changed my machine proved to be a headache. I work from my laptop (Windows) and desktop (Mac) and the font is not Mac friendly. Plus, every time I want to write something from uni, I run into problems if I have to download fonts.

This nifty tool solves all those problems very easily. After all, all you need to do is type the URL and voila, you can get cracking straightaway. It has got some neat add ons, word suggestions that comes up when you are half-way through your typing, to lend a helpful hand by coming up with alternatives. 

If you click on the ‘Edit..’ link, you’d get a window like this:

This tool is supported by both IE and Firefox, thereby making it easy for you to use from a Windows, Mac or Linux based machine.

So what are you waiting for?
