As Srikanth mentioned, Sanskrit wiki projects (<a href="http://sa.wikipedia.org">http://sa.wikipedia.org</a>) is one of the first Indic language wiki (along with tamil and Malayalam) to implement the integrated typing tool. So the feature Harish asked is already there in Sanskrit wiki projects.<br>

</blockquote><br>I assume it is a good idea to run site notices. But before that we need to implement the tool (Narayam) in most Indic language wikis. As of now it is implemented only in Tamil, Malayalam, and Sanskrit. And the Assamese wiki community is in talk with developers to implement Narayam in Assamese wiki. For all other Indic languages (Odia, Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Bengali, Telugu, Gujarati, Pujnabi....) the tool need to be implemented. Some of the above communities are using the old tool developed by Junaid, but that need to be replaced. And for that support from respective community is most required. For languages like Punjabi the community need to help developers to develop transliteration scheme itself. For the rest of the languages the current tool need to be upgraded to Narayam.<br>
<br>We shall run site notices once we finish few more languages. Or we shall run site notices in those wikis where tool is already implemented, may be after the wiki conference (we have so many site notices these days :) )<br>
<br><br>Please write to me off-list at <a href="mailto:shiju@wikimedia.org">shiju@wikimedia.org</a>, if any language communities need assitance regarding this. <br><br><br>Shiju<br><br> <br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Sanskrit Wikipedia is not having transliteration tool as in most other Indian languages. Since the script is Devanagari, the same code used in Hindi wiki can be reused. Can anybody please enable it?</blockquote><div><br>

</div><div>Infact Sanskrit was one of the early communities to adopt Narayam (before Tamil). Please see the below screenshots for Tamil, you similarly have "Input Method" dropdown at top of page near Username / Login link. Please hover over it, you would get a dropdown to choose the transliteration option. (Control-M) is the keyboard shortcut to turn it off / on.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Gerard / Santhosh / Junaid / Shiju,</div><div><br></div><div>Should we run site notices with these screenshots on these communities to increase awareness. Tamil wiki projects have a link to typing help on sitenotice and that page contains relevant help. I think it would be better if you ask bug filers to make sure they run sitenotices on wiki post enabling Narayam to spread awareness.</div>
