ahh...more learned. so if you enable your blog to transliterate, it will do so but only to titles, in order to make your content searchable in that language...the previous posts were hindi. this title comes in tamil...other languages available are Kannada, Malagayam, and Telugu.
Info from the help site:
"Blogger offers an automatic transliteration option for converting Roman characters to the Indic characters used in Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu. This lets you type these languages phonetically in English script and still have them appear in their correct alphabet. Note that this is not the same as translation -- the sound of the words is converted from one alphabet to the other, not the meaning."
interestingly, online translators still read the text in roman script and searches for the words in indic script produce no results. one wonders what the point to this is - clearly a fair bit of work has gone into its development. what other indic scripts could be available that are omitted here? why these choices?
more to learn.
