Rails - Jul 2009 - Language Translation

Hi All,
    Can anybody tell me how can i type regional languages like Hindi,
Tamil, etc in a text area using virtual keyboard or something. Otherwise
like Orkut, if I written something in English, it should automatically
convert into selected language. Any plugin or gem is there to do this.

Thanks in Advance,
Avantec

That should be pretty easy to set up with JavaScript.

I assume Orkut is using the Google Translate API to do this.  Perhaps 
they have a public API call that you can use?

No, because I haven''t used that API either.  Do your own research.

Just use JS to put the appropriate characters into the text field.  I''m
sure you know how to do that. :)
