itrans-processor – Transliteration of Indian Languages
Itrans is a pre-processor: it converts English-encoded text into various Indian Language scripts for printing or for display.
The input text to itrans is in a transliterated form: each letter in an Indian Script is assigned an English equivalent, and the English letters are used to represent what will eventually print out in the Indian Language Script.
