How to write in Hindi on Facebook

Posted by Jaideep Walia in addon, firefox, tricks

First of all I would like to wish my Lil’ sis

“A Happy Birthday”

I joined facebook sometime back and I am so happy that I did. I found a lot of my school friends there and now I am addicted to it.

I am from Delhi, India (as are most of my school friends). I started conversing with them in Hindi (most of the time) as I feel that one can express better in his/her mothertongue. Unlike Orkut, Facebook does not support typing in Hindi, so I am presenting here a way to write comments, posts etc using Google's service.

To be able to type in Hindi, you should have Firefox (The Best Browser).

Same Procedure can be used with Internet Explorer.

Right-click this link: [अ Type in Hindi]
Click on "Bookmark This Link".
Choose "Bookmarks Toolbar" in the "Folder" option.

Now you will have a bookmark “Type in Hindi”

Now go to www.google.com and then press “Type in Hindi’ bookmark.

Wait for sometime till you see something like this

Wait some more and you will see

Now type anything in English

Press Spacebar. Do not press Enter

This is what you will get

Now you can search things in Hindi.

Click this bookmarklet while in the Facebook and your comment window will become Hindi enabled !!! Now write Hindi comments right in Facebook.
