    Auto Transliteration

Azhagi has the facility to transliterate existing English (rather Tanglish) without the need to retype them. To auto transliterate existing texts, one has to just copy and paste the text in the ETA of azhagi and the corresponding Tamil will appear in the bottom screen in no time.

It is of immense help to some of the users who had typed out their Tamil poems, articles etc. earlier in 'Tanglish'. To convert their works in Tamil now, there is no need for them to retype their entire work. They just have to paste it in the ETA of azhagi and azhagi will do the rest. Ofcourse, there will be some areas wherein they have to make some minor corrections and alterations.

TIPS:
1. You can use this powerful feature to convert data in Excel files too (for e.g. names, city names etc.). Just select some columns of data from your Excel file, paste those data in 'Notepad' first. They will be copied in columns itself, each column separated by space. Copy and paste this data from Notepad onto ETA of Azhagi and it will convert the data to Tamil in columns in TTA. Copy this Tamil data from TTA of Azhagi and paste it in blank columns of your Excel file and you have your converted data ready.
2. When you paste your English (rather Tanglish) text from an external source onto the ETA of Azhagi, in general, the whole text is converted into its Tamil equivalent. But, sometimes you might require that some portions of your pasted text be kept in English itself, without conversion. To achieve this, if you keep the option 'Use caret as English text delimiter' under 'More preferences' ticked, and if your copied English text has certain portions delimited within carets, then these portions will be kept in English itself without conversion. For ex : you can have your external text as : "appaa, eppadi irukkeenga? ^I am fine^" and when you copy this text in ETA of Azhagi, "appaa, eppadi irukkeenga?" will be converted to Tamil but "I am fine" will be kept intact in English itself.
3. If the text to be converted is large, it will take proportionately longer time for conversion. So, if your text is large, it is better to break it into smaller chunks and attempt conversion on the same. If you try out some sample texts first, then you can judge what 'large' means for your specific computer configuration (processor speed, RAM etc.)
