Here comes ‘Google’ to our rescue..! We can use ‘Google Transliteration’ to write in Marathi / Hindi.

I have copied only some of the text that I needed. Further it has been aligned to center.

Few helpful tips !

• When using ‘Google Transliteration‘ don’t wonder why your text is not getting translated. Because your text wont get translated unless you put space once you complete typing a word.
• You can choose the language from the drop down provided on left side of ‘Google Transliteration‘ (There is lot more to explore.)
• You can also format your text at the time of writing in ‘Google Transliteration‘. In fact where to format your content is just a matter of choice.

How can we extend WordPress’s admin functionality to give default language selection and editing facility in WYSIWYG editor itself.

Any ideas of integrating ‘transliteration API’ in WordPress will be much appreciated.
