It offers a web interface, mobile interfaces for Android and iOS, and an API that developers can use to build browser extensions, applications and other software. As of 2015, Google Translate supports 90 languages at various levels and serves over 200 million people daily.
Google transliteration (formerly Google Indic Transliteration) is a transliteration typing service for Hindi and other languages.
This tool first appeared in Blogger, Google's popular blogging service.Later on, it came into existence as a separate online tool. Its popularity got it embedded in GMail and Orkut. In December 2009, Google released its offline version named Google IME.
This tool from Google is based on dictionary based phonetic transliteration approach. In contrast to older Indic typing tools, which work by transliterating under a particular scheme, Google transliterates by matching the Latin alphabet words with an inbuilt dictionary. Since users do not need to remember the transliteration scheme, the service is so easy that it is suitable for total beginners.
