Google has integrated its Hindi transliteration into Orkut scraps. Now users can scrap in Hindi language directly from Orkut. Previously users were using some other web sites to type in Hindi and copy paste from there into Orkut. The transliteration service seems to be very advanced with inline word suggestions.
