Thanks Dileep.  If you don’t mind, please clarify some of my doubts. I am pretty naïve as far as these subjects are concerned.

How do major web portals (Malayalam) create their contents? Do they use an English keyboard and let the DTP operator to remember all equivalent Malayalam characters.

I have used an application iLeap which let a user to type in Malayalam. Personally, I found it tedious to work on it. It won’t let a user to type rather you have to click every time.

It is heartening to hear that you are on a mission to create an online dictionary. What level can I contribute to your online dictionary?

Thanks and regards
Gireesh
