Home --> Online Resources --> Transliteration Service |
SDL, IIT Madras is pleased to offer a simple but useful online transliteration service for presenting Indian language text through Images. Over the years, absence of standardization in Text Encoding and Fonts for Indian languages has created a lot of confusion in disseminating text through web pages. The service provided here allows the text to be seen through images generated on the fly. The service allows the text to be input in ITRANS format as part of the URL for the service. |
Notes
The following are the language codes. SAN - Sanskrit (Devanagari)
The image will be returned as a GIF image and will have a default width of 480 pixels. The height of the image will depend on the number of lines in the text. The text will be in black against a white background. Use this service to include Indian language text in messages exchanged in NewsGroups or email. Prepare the message in HTML format and include the URL at the appropriate place. You may also use the service to generate an image and use it statically if you so desire. Being an image the text will be displayed properly on almost all the Browsers. You will not run into any problem with fonts or or wrongly interpreted text due to varying encoding standards.
