NEW GOOGLE TRANSLATOR



Google Transliteration IME is an input method editor which allows users to enter text in one of the supported languages using a roman keyboard. Users can type a word the way it sounds using Latin characters and Google Transliteration IME will convert the word to its native script. Note that this is not the same as translation -- it is the sound of the words that is converted from one alphabet to the other, not their meaning. Converted content will always be in Unicode.
Google Transliteration IME is currently available for 22 different languages - Amharic, Arabic, Bengali, Farsi (Persian), Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Sinhalese, Tamil, Telugu, Tigrinya and Urdu.

ATTENTION , COUNTER P.A.s !! BRAND NEW NOTES ARE COMMING .


: The Reserve Bank will shortly issue Rs 100 notes which will have the rupee symbol. 

The design of the notes to be issued is similar in all respects to the existing Rs 100 in Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005 issued earlier, except for the rupee symbol.
 

RBI had announced last month that it will soon introduce notes of Rs 1,000, Rs 500 and Rs 10 denomination featuring the rupee symbol. 

The Rs 100 notes will be of the Mahatma Gandhi-2005 Series bearing the signature of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor
 D Subbarao and with the year of printing mentioned on the back of the banknote, the apex bank said in a statement. 

All the banknotes in the denomination of Rs 100 issued by the RBI in the past will continue to be legal tender, it said.
 

The Indian rupee got an unique symbol -- a blend of the Devanagri 'Ra' and Roman 'R' -- last year, joining currencies like the US dollar, euro, British pound and Japanese yen in having a distinct identity.
 

The new symbol, designed by Bombay IIT post-graduate D Udaya Kumar, was approved in July 2010.

US DEPARTMENT OF POST INVITES CONTROVERCY ON INDIA MAP.


US State Department Posts New India Map On Its Website
PTI [ Updated 04 Jan 2012, 08:18:56 ]


Triggering a fresh controversy, the US State Department has now posted a new map of India which reflects the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir with dotted lines, thereby projecting it as a disputed territory.

There was no immediate response from the Indian Embassy in Washington if it was satisfied with the latest India map posted by the State Department on its website.

Following strong protest from the Ministry of External Affairs, the State Department in November had removed from its website a map of India which showed a portion of Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan.

A similar map from its travel website was also removed by the State Department.

State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland had told reporters at that time that such an error was unintentional.

She said that the map had “some inaccuracies which were associated with the boundaries of some geographic features.”
