Abstract
Almost all transactions ranging from various domains such as travel, shopping, insurance, entertainment, hotels, appointments etc. are available through Internet based applications. Needless to say, all these applications require the knowledge of English. As Internet users are growing day by day, it is logical to say that, there is a great demand to develop tools and applications to support Indian languages for them. The solution to provide local language support in the web based commercial applications is Machine Translation which can be used to translate static labels on web form and Machine Transliteration to transliterate dynamic user inputs from local language into the default language English. It is challenging to transliterate names and technical terms occurring in the user input across languages with different alphabets and sound inventories. This paper focuses important issues which frequently occur in Hindi to English and Marathi to English named entities machine transliteration.
