Type in Hindi using a standard English QWERTY keyboard. It uses phonetic transliteration techniques to change regular Latin characters into Hindi ones. The tool also includes an on-screen keyboard.
With Google Transliteration IME the editor wanted to allow his users to write text in supported language like Hindi, Arabic, Marathi, Telugu etc with their existing roman keyboard.
Users can write a word the way it sounds using Latin characters and Google Transliteration IME will convert the word to its original script.
Transliteration means a transcription from one alphabet to another or rewrite in a different script.
When you type a word, for example “Google”, it converts (transliterates) the script according to the pronunciation instead of what it means in Hindi or other language as “गूगल”.
