Unicode - Reality: Unicode is supported by the IT industry
including Microsoft, Sun, IBM, Apple, HP and Oracle. To make
documents more readable across platforms and machines, the Unicode
specification was created and has been implemented in many systems.
Unicode - Benefits 1. User can continue to work in the same manner.
2. Unicode doesnt play any role in pricing decisions. (We use
softwares now Unicode compliant.) 3. Unicode is only a standard,
not a software or technology. 4. Unicode based documents take a
little extra space than the non-Unicode ones.
Slide 4
Unicode - Unicode Encoding - An encoding system, like ASCII
assigns a number to each letter, number or character. Operating
systems include programs and fonts which convert these numbers to
letters visible on screen. Unicode, also known as UTF-8 or the
"Universal Alphabet" is an ordered set of over a million
characters. Systems recognize Unicode, can read and process data
from many languages. Unicode was developed way back in 1990s.
Unicode aims to transcend the limitations of traditional character
encodings such as those defined by the ISO 8859 standard. Many
older Web sites were vendor specific and complicated. To view a
Unicode document, a computer must have font installed includes
characters for the script. Unicode fonts are two types - Arial
Unicode MS (for Windows) and Lucida Unicode (Macintosh).
Slide 5
What is Unicode? ? Most-complete character-set. The largest
encoding scheme. Supports major scripts and multi-lingual
environments, supports mathematics, scientific symbols also.
Unicode ensures standardization for data use and storage. Being a
16 bit encoding standard, Unicode can represent 65,536 characters.
It is promoted by Unicode Consortium. Unicode works across Hardware
platforms (Desktops, Laptops, PDAs etc from various Manufacturer
like Intel processor based PC, Apple Macintosh machine, AMD
processor based PCs ) Operating Systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD
etc.) Software programs (Unicode compliant) Languages (Most of the
worlds languages ) On Internet (All major browsers - Internet
Explorer for Windows, Internet Explorer for Macintosh, Mozilla
Firefox, Safari, Opera )
Slide 6
Languages Interoperability Unicode different scripts co-exist
harmoniously in single document. User can shift between
languages/scripts without using separate software for each
language. User can shift between languages even without changing
the font.

Unicode, Installation & Uses Use of Unicode to Establish
Marathi Language in Computer
Slide 11
Introduction: We were facing many problems while typing
anything in regional languages other than English. Solution for all
these questions is Unicode. We shall learn how to work with
Unicode. BarahaIME is one of many Unicode softwares available on
internet. - / . . .
Slide 12
What is Unicode? There is code for each character in computer.
Different codes for single character were made which are changing
according to software. If we make single code for single character,
then it will minimize problems in typing. And this lead to
discovery of Unicode system. ? . . . Now, Control panel window will
be displayed on the screen.Select Regional and Language option.
Double click. You will get Regional and language option window.
Select Language option from its menu " " .
Slide 13
Regional Language Settings
Slide 14
You will get Add Input language window. Select button in input
language box so that it will give list of available regional
languages. Select Marathi from that list. .
Slide 15
Again select keyboard layout option from Add input language and
select Marathi option from list, then click on OK In Preferences -
Follow Language Bar settings shown above
Slide 16
You have to remember key (shift + ctrl +0 ) in switch to
Marathi Marathi option. For this, again you have to select key
setting which will give Advanced key setting window. Go to Marathi
Marathi option, finally click on OK button, so that Marathi will be
successfully installed using Unicode system in your computer Now
computer is ready to work with Marathi using Unicode. There will be
Language Bar on task bar of your computer. From that you will
understand which language is active on computer.
Slide 17
We have to use Inscript Keyboard. In this method, it is
necessary for us to learn typing. Keyboard layout is given below.
Alternative for this is BarahaIME software which includes phonetic
keyboard and in script method. For Computer Users, in general,
Phonetic keyboard is more easier than in script method. While using
BARAH IME in Office 2007, use F11 - Function key for language
change.

Thus, we can easily type in Marathi with the help of Unicode
setting or Installation of BarahaIME.

Google Translate
Slide 21
Google Translate is a free automatic translator. Google
Translate currently supports translation between 57 languages (eg
Afrikaans, Albanian, etc Available in Hindi but not for
Marathi)Afrikaans Albanian Translate text To translate words and
phrases, select your translation language and start typing. The
translation result will appear instantly as you type. (PC be
Javascript enabled )Javascript enabled Input text phonetically Many
languages are difficult to type as keyboard layout is complex for
that script. While translating, as you type these languages as they
sound in English - for example, "You" for " " in Hindi, when you
press space, the word is being converted to Hindi script, and its
translation will be displayed in the widow on right hand side.
Slide 22
Google Translate Translate entire web page Google Translate is
an easy way to translate whole document without the need for
copying and pasting block of text. Click translate a document link
and submit your file as a PDF, TXT, DOC, PPT, XLS or RTF. Original
formatting may not be preserved. The Google Translate Web Element
allows you to instantly make your website available in other

Slide 24
Google Transliteration converts Roman characters to their
phonetic equivalent in desired language, this differs from
translation. - It is the sound of the words that are converted from
one alphabet to the other, not their meaning. Transliteration is
available for many languages (at present 23). Transliteration is
also available in Blogger, Gmail, Orkut.BloggerGmailOrkut Typing
phonetically - Once you select your target language, start typing a
word just the way it sounds in your language using English letters.
Once you finish typing a word and hit the SPACE bar, the word will
be converted to your local language script.

Correcting and editing words - In most cases, the transliterated
word is correct. However, sometimes the transliteration may not be
what you were looking for. Switching between English and
transliteration language - Pressing SHIFT + SPACE after a word
(instead of SPACE) skips the transliteration of the previous word.
Using the dictionary - Google Transliteration has integrated with
Google Dictionary to provide a convenient in-place method to look
up word meanings across languages. Google Dictionary
