Hi Friends
I had been working on various projects using Google Transliteration API and
it seems Google will be terminating it in 2014.
I like to know if there are any open source projects (script) available for
Indian language transliteration which we can start using in our
applications.
One of the sites we use it is
www.Akshrangal.com
Also on
www.SocialPulse.com we use it as well as our iphone app
'iPublisher'

Hope to hear from you
Thank you
the Transliterate API has been deprecated. While it continues to function
for the time being, and Google has committed to using "commercially
reasonable efforts" to keep in running until May 2014, there is no active
development being done on the API. Further, per the deprecation policy,
Google reserves the right to discontinue the service at any time, with or
without notice, if they deem unilaterally deem it unreasonable to continue
supporting it. No replacement service has been announced. See the warning
at the top of the docs:
http://code.google.com/apis/language/transliterate/overview.html<http://…
And the blog post announcing the deprecation:
http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/05/spring-cleaning-for-some-of-ou...<…
Additionally, per the TOS, section 1.1, there are no terms to legally
access the RESTful endpoints directly from any program (e.g., Android app)
except via the Javascript wrapper:
http://code.google.com/apis/language/transliterate/terms.html<http://www…
Note, in particular, this statement:
"The API does not provide You with the ability to access, and you are not
allowed to access, other underlying Google Services or data."
