Blogger Transliteration: A Good Thing Indeed
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Blogger quietly has announced some transliteration software improvements that will help millions of people. Many are designed for the convenience of people who speak Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Tamil.
These languages predominately are spoken in India. But they're also spoken in Malaysia, Mauritius, Fiji, Reunion, South Africa, Trinidad, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and elsewhere.
Language can be a barrier to economic success, so seeing barriers start to come down is a good thing indeed.
Blogger also tweaked its software so comments will appear on multiple pages if there are more than 200. There also is a fix for a bug that resulted in incorrect label counts and slow loading times for the post editor.
Returning to the language issue for a moment, well, the world is constantly shrinking. As economic and political barriers are removed, more and more entrepreneurs enter the marketplace.
They're your future customers and suppliers. It may seem trite, but a rising tide does lift all boats. That the marketplace is expanding is an exciting thought indeed.
