Padma : Telugu Text Transformer

Having seen so many folks happily blogging in telugu wondered how I could join them. A little bit of searching, and this is what I stumbled upon. Pretty cool program. Ive seen similar stuff for French, German etc, but am quite amazed that we have it for telugu too.

Now that I am aware of this, the challenge will be to use it, and to get it to really be ‘correct’

for ex – the telugu script should read “this is so much fun, try it here” instead it reads
“థిస్ ఇస్ సొ ముచ్ ఫున్, త్ర్య్ ఇత్ హెరె ” = “dhis is so mooch fun, thry ith here”
Quite hilarious.

edo nathi dani laga = ఎదొ నథ్హి దని లగ [which is incorrect when read in telugu]
BUT
edO nattHi dAni lAga = ఎదో నత్థి దాని లాగ [which sounds and looks like how I really want to say]

That’s RTS for you! Ive always seen folks write it this way, especially in Sulekha – good ol times, when it was infested with telugus – but didnt bother learning it. Too many CAPS imo, but I guess that was the right way to write!!

Interesting to say the least.
