Should say this is handy. Good effort. <br><br>Typing Indic text on mobile for URL sure is a bit complicated right now for the normal user.

<div><br></div><div><a href="http://interwikiredir.appspot.com/or/Chennai" target="_blank">interwikiredir.appspot.com/or/Chennai</a> will redirect to Chennai article in Oriya Wikipedia. We have also made this available as part of <a href="http://tawp.in" target="_blank">tawp.in</a> shorturl domain, hence <a href="http://tawp.in/en/ArticleNameInEnglish" target="_blank">tawp.in/en/ArticleNameInEnglish</a> will redirect to corresponding interwiki article in Tamil. Building this into a mediawiki extension might be useful since not all mobiles may support Indic input schemes and first step to read an article is to type the URL!.</div>
