The global nature of our mission is reflected in the phrases the “world’s information” and “universally accessible.” To this end, you may have recently read about our 40-language initiative and the story of a community coming together to develop Google search in the Maori language.

Following on this theme, we’d like to highlight a few new products that enable a better online experience for Tamil speakers around the world.

First, we just released
Google search in Tamil enables users to start typing in English and automatically get query suggestions in Tamil. If you wanted to enter the query “ponniyin selvan” in Tamil, just start typing it in English - e.g. “ponni” and we will show the Tamil suggestions:


Tamil transliteration in Blogger is designed for bloggers publishing content in Tamil when using the English keyboard for text entry. It’s our hope that this will make Tamil content more popular and more easily available online.

Tamil transliteration in orkut makes it easier to communicate with friends and family by exchanging scraps in Tamil.

We hope that each of these products will help to bring the benefits of the Internet to the millions of Tamil speakers in India and elsewhere.
