Google recently announced on August 15th, India’s Independence day, the release of Google Labs India, whereby they will showcase their favorite ideas for just Indian users. One of the first ideas released that day was the mission to make search accessible universally and hence offering search in Google in 14 Indian and South Asian languages through an on-screen keyboard.
The 14 languages supported include অসমীয়া (Assamese), বাংলা (Bengali), ગુજરાતી (Gujarati), हिंदी (Hindi), ಕನ್ನಡ (Kannada), മലയാളം (Malayalam), मराठी (Marathi), नेपाली (Nepali), ଓଡ଼ିଆ (Oriya), ਪੰਜਾਬੀ (Punjabi), संस्कृतम् (Sanskrit), සිංහල (Sinhala), தமிழ் (Tamil), and తెలుగు (Telugu). All a person needs is a web browser, a mouse to click the letters, and a Unicode font as their language setting.

I’m a big Google fan and I love using their vast array of services such as GMail, Maps, Apps for Domain, Docs & Spreadsheets, etc, etc. There are way too many Google services that I use to mention all at once! Anyway, a lot of these services are beta or still fairly new, so it’s a lot of fun to know when there is a big update or feature addition.

Ok, I know that I am about to change my current search feature on my blog to Google’s Custom Search Engine for Businesses as I write this post because it’s cheap, can be customized to have no ads, and of course best of all, you get results that actually match what someone searches for! The cool thing is that it takes absolutely no time to setup because all you have to do is give your search a name, tell it what you want it to search, and paste four lines of HTML onto your home page.
