Sree,
Google is using Transliteration for Blogger, Gmail and other services. And in their case they allow user to type in Indic in visual mode. Have you tried to investigate how they have done it? Is there anyway we can do something similar for wordpress, tinymce and others.

I referenced my post at http://www.improvemyenglish.in because it lists everything I did to use this plugin and may help someone. Unfortunately, either because I am using a later Firefox (3.0.11) or a later Wordpress (2.8), I can no longer see the drop-down list of languages. Just a squashed drop-down empty control. This does not change whether I tick the box or not.

Luckily I can still type in Devanagari, but would have been stuck if it had been some other language. Does anyone have any tips?

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
//define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ”);
/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

character set and collation of wordpress database

and

convert latin1 to UTF-8

I am able to get around this issue, I commented out 2 lines of code in wp-config as below:

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
//define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
//define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

I am not sure if this is correct but now I am able to publish post in Tamil.

@Sanjay M, how do we check if the database encoding is in unicode

@Suppan, thank you for your suggestion.

Here is the solution
