Google introduced chat bots almost a year ago. These chat bots do not fake to be a girl and chat with you (as many bots do), but instead it becomes useful in the sense that when you type a message in English and send it to the bot it will translate this into Hindi and send you back a reply.
Amazing no ? Well see my gtalk window here :
So you want to play with the bot right ? Well here is how you go about it. You simply have to add bots to your friendlist and they will translate for you. Currently known bots are as follows :
Hindi — en2hi.translit@bot.talk.google.com
Kannada — en2kn.translit@bot.talk.google.com
Malayalam– en2ml.translit@bot.talk.google.com
Tamil — en2ta.translit@bot.talk.google.com
Telugu — en2te.translit@bot.talk.google.com
These are supported for other languages as well, here is the table from the google’s support website
Hope you enjoy the chatting and learn something new.
Cheers!!
