Welcome to WordGrinder

Important note for Windows users

WordGrinder is a port of a Unix program, and a few things don’t map well onto the way Windows works. There are some things you need to know.

• the mouse is ignored. WordGrinder is keyboard driven.
• the close button at the top right hand corner of the window won’t work. Instead, to quit, type CTRL+Q (or press ESC to open the menu and pick File_→_Quit).

The case for universal transliteration of Indic languages

What do I mean by Universal transliteration of Indic Langauges?

Why?

The machine transliteration of one script to another is already a well understood and widely implemented product. Example [Google Transliterate][1], [Sanscript][2]

Why not translation?
