Google Labs updates transliteration tool

Google Yahoo Msn UpdateHave you ever wanted to type something in English and have the tool you are using spit that same message out in Hindi? What about Greek? With the aid of Google's transliteration feature, you can.

The search giant's Bangalore office wrote that typing on Roman keyboards makes it "difficult to type in Indian languages." In an attempt to find a fix, the team in India released Google's Transliteration offering. And on Thursday it announced an update to the feature.

The new and enhanced Transliteration permits users to select from one of 17 different languages includes Arabic, Gujarati, Kannada, and Punjabi, to name a few. Once that's chosen, they can type a message in English and have it instantly transliterated to the selected language. Users can also search for word definitions in the included dictionary.
