Google has set up a version for India of Google Labs, which it styles as a “technology playground” for products that are in development and require market feedback to improve. The Indian version of Google Labs will focus on products for that market, though these may not be developed only by Google’s research and development (R&D) centers in India, Agarwal said. Google has put up two technologies for testing by users on the Google Labs Web site: an Indic On-Screen Keyboard iGoogle Gadget and Google Indic Transliteration.
Google is now offering an easier way to search in 14 Indian and South Asian languages. You don’t need a special keyboard or software; all you need is a web browser, a mouse, and a Unicode font for your language. So whether you speak Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada,Malayalam, Marathi,Nepali, Oriya , Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sinhala, Tamil, or Telugu, Google will help you find content on the web in your language. To get started, add one or more of these iGoogle gadgets (http://labs.google.co.in/indic.html) to your personalized iGoogle home page. You can use these gadgets to compose queries, and ask Google to search the vast Internet in your very own language.
