There is a free cd available from Government of India. This cd contains a software dictionary which will give meaning of tamil words into equivalent english word and vice versa. Go here http://www.ildc.gov.in/. This type of cd is also available for Hindi and Teleugu . If you mean transliteration software, then try Baraha. It is free and has got support for almost all languages.Also you may visit http://www.khandbahale.com/ for a large variety of software dealing with indian languages.
