What is the nature of the effort involved say to extend this to Telugu, kannada, Hindi etc. Junaid has already (partially)* extended* this solution to Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit, and Bhojpuri wikipedias. You can see the respective wikipedias to see the Transliteration solution developed by Junaid working there. Among these Sanskrit wikipedia (http://sa.wikipedia.org) has the best Devanagri transliteration solution since many people cooperated with Junaid for its testing. But currently *only Transliteration* solution is available in those wikipedias. Rest of the solutions (for example, inscript) need to developed. Junaid is working on it. A transliteration solution is already available in *Kannada* and *Telugu*wikipedias. But it is not advanced as the one developed by Junaid. If the respective language communities cooperate with the testing (of the respective script) we can easily extend it to other Indian languages.
