Google Transliteration offers an option for converting Roman characters to their phonetic equivalent in your language. This extension allows users to use Google Transliteration on every text-box in all websites. For those who can make use of it, it certainly adds a useful capability. Google Transliteration Service is another example of what developers and users can do with Chrome. To exit transliteration, we simply typed Ctrl + G again. Of course, we were typing English word with transliterated sounds, not actual Arabic or Punjabi words, but that's just what Google Transliteration Service is supposed to do, and what it did. Next we tried Arabic and then a few others each displayed text in its unique characters. We simply typed in our text string by the icon, and the English letters changed to phonetic characters in our selected language, Hindi. The program also placed an icon in the text entry field. We browsed to Google, typed Ctrl + G, and a yellow bar appeared atop the Chrome border notifying us that transliteration was active. On any text-entry area on any Web site, simply press the hotkey shortcut to enable transliteration. These consisted of a drop-down menu for selecting one of 13 languages and a few checkboxes for stuff like configuring how the program's icon is displayed and setting a keyboard shortcut (the default is Ctrl + G). We clicked the Wrench icon on Chrome's toolbar, selected Tools/Extensions, and clicked on Google Transliteration Service's Options. Google Transliteration Service downloads and installs easily, like all Google extensions it doesn't even require you to restart Chrome, unlike some other free, open-source browsers we know. It lets users enter text in their own language from any English-language keyboard on any Web site via Chrome. It doesn't translate text it transliterates it, which means it changes it to its phonetic equivalent in the selected language, translating only the sounds of letters and words, not their meaning. Take Google Transliteration Service, a free add-on that transliterates Roman alphabetical characters into one of a number of different language systems, including Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Persian, and other languages spoken in East Asia.
Google's free Chrome browser may trail IE and Firefox in popularity, but the many open-source modules and enhancements available for Google software make for some interesting extensions.
