[Tugindia] Itranslator and Sanskrit

[Raj Singh]

> People working on windows and use sanskrit can use Itranslator, a windows
> open source program written in Delphi and distributed by Omkarananda
> Ashram. You can also save it as an RTF file and open it and edit it in
> most of the word processing programmes like word, wordperfect, pagemaker
> etc. It also generates html. This program is widely used to convert the
> sanskrit documents in www.alkhemy.com/sanskrit.

One can also use the fonts (sans98.ttf, ...) supplied with the programme
(itrans98) by Omkarananda Ashram directly in MS-Word -- but for that you
need to know the keyboard-to-font mapping. Needs a bit of practice.

I had showed itrans98 to C-DAC guys who had come to demo i-LEAP at our
institute about 3-4 years ago. They were quite impressed as they did not
have a equivalent of the on-the-fly transliteration/translation that
itran98 had as well as the Sanskrit support.
