Transliteration tool

Nick Cipollone is one of our hard-core linguistic developers who regularly works with exotic scripts and complicated languages (natural ones, that is, though some people probably think C is complicated). In many of these languages, it's hard to enter characters because there is no mapping from a "standard" keyboard into their script. How would you ever enter characters in Inuktitut for example? So he wrote a nice utility that lets you enter roman (i.e. "English") characters and have them converted into the script of choice.

The tool is now available for download for free at the Microsoft Global Development and Computing Portal.

A bunch of people helped get this out the door, including Andrea Jessee from our PM team, several testers and others from the Global team ( Mina Gharbi - Hamel, Erik Usaj, Pradeep Parappil, and Russ Rolfe)
