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.)
