English to Hindi / English to Nepali Typing Using Google API

In this article, we are going to integrate Google Transliterate API to convert English text to corresponding text in other language like Hindi or Nepali.

For this, we will need two files

• jsapi.js
• index.html

index.html

<script type="text/javascript" src="jsapi.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
  google.load("elements", "1", {
          packages: "transliteration"
      }
  );

  function onLoad() {
      var options= {
          sourceLanguage:
              google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.ENGLISH,
              destinationLanguage: [google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.HINDI],
              shortcutKey: 'ctrl+g',
              transliterationEnabled: true
      };
      var control=new google.elements.transliteration.TransliterationControl(options);
      control.makeTransliteratable(['english-input']);
  }
  
  google.setOnLoadCallback(onLoad);
</script>
