Question

How do I translate text a user types from English to another language? What APIs exist for this?

Background

When a user types in text into a TextBox on my ASP.NET page, I want it to be automatically translated into Tamil.

A: 

The only thing I know of that could do this is Microsoft's translator, however it does not appear that Tamil is a supported language as of yet.

@Pandiya: I believe you are talking about transliteration and not translation. Your intended output should be something like this ??. A search gave me this which pointed me to this software
