We have given the facility of reaching a website by just saying the keywords into your mobile phone and the links will appear on the Google page. You only have to click on any one to reach the site desired, said Jagjit Chawla,Products Head,Google,in Lucknow to highlight the familiar face of the search engine.

Even the unlettered,who carry a mobile,but cant read or send sms,can now benefit from the Net, he claimed.

You can now send e-mails from your gmail account in the language of your choice and in that script, he announces and to make a point,types out sat sri akaal in the message field,selects Punjabi from the menu of languages and clicks to make the script change from Roman to Gurmukhi.

Aaho to that!

Google applications help you change contents of any site from English to Hindi,thus we hope to reach out to a larger number of Internet users in the Hindi belt and inspire non-users to try their hand, he said,adding that a Google Bus with a small cyber café had moved to several 2-tier towns of Karnataka,Tamil Nadu,Rajasthan,etc giving citizens their first experience of browsing the Internet.

Users of Google and all its associates,including gmail and orkut,said Chawla,could enjoy the benefit of the transliteration and translation tools.
