Itranslator is a free utility for PCs developed
by Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas, which converts
ITRANS 5.2 (as well as older versions including
ITRANS 4) Sanskrit text
or text files into Devanagari scipt and roman+diacritics (True Type),
which can then be exported or pasted via the
clipboard to any application. Itranslator produces
results that are fully editable, printable on any
printer, and of publishing quality.
This free software is useful for converting existing texts like
those available on the Documents List pages into
Devanagari and Roman+diacritics, as well as for typing your own texts.
You DO NOT need ITRANS, TeX, LaTeX,
ghostview/ ghostscript, web browsers, MSWord or any
word processor to get this program working.
The Itranslator 99
uses 8-bit true type fonts and is compatible with all versions of Windows.
The newer Itranslator 2003
uses 16-bit Unicode-compatible fonts and is working only on
Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003.
A detailed 'Technical Manual of Itranslator' developed by Ulrich Stiehl is available, which includes a comparison of Itranslator 99 and 2003.
