Add Indic Language Input to Your Website for Free
We're happy to announce that beginning today, for the benefit of website owners and bloggers, it is possible (and extremely easy) to embed the Web version of Microsoft Indic Language Input Tool on your own website or blog. This facilitates easy search, form-filling and discussions in your language on your site by anyone who visits it, without requiring them to install anything.
We offer two modes in which you may enable Indic Language Input on your website: the Opt-out mode and the Opt-in mode.
In the Opt-out mode, all supported input fields on the page are transliteration-enabled except those that you specifically wish to disable. This is recommended when you want most or all of your site to be transliteration-enabled, such as your intra-website search box and various form fields and comments boxes but not, say, a URL or email address field.
In the Opt-in mode, only those input fields are transliteration-enabled that you specify. This is recommended if you want only a few input fields on your site to be transliteration-enabled, such as, say, only a comments box and nothing else.
All it takes to do this is a very simple copy-paste of HTML code into your website or blog template, and possibly adding an attribute to the opening tag of some HTML controls. By making the right choice between Opt-in and Opt-out modes for your site, you can keep even this editing to a minimum. You do not have to write a single line of Javascript code yourself!
Separate instructions for adding the Web version of Microsoft Indic Language Input Tool to your website are available for each language:
Bengali Hindi Kannada Malayalam Tamil Telugu
This service is provided free for non-commercial use only.
We're confident that this will help further the cause of creating more Indic language content. Feel free to send us your feedback. Thanks!
Rahul.
