how to type easily in tamil (works for hindi,kanada,marathi,arabic,etc)

It was always special to type/write in mother tongue language, but it was a hell of a effort to have tamil scripts earlier.

Life is so simple with unicode being all over the web and Google TransLiterate. Just type in English, let it take care of you.

But what made it awesome is transliterate bookmarks, that you can bookmark and click to switch between (english/tamil) (english/hindi) on the fly,,

Just bookmark these links, (keep it in Firefox Bookmark Pane or Chrome bookmarks bar), click on-the-go to type in your desired language..

   Tamil
   Hindi
   Marathi
   Arabic
   ...

Also, try installing IME Transliteration -> One click, you are done.

Happy mother language typing.. :)
