Type in Urdu on any keyboard, in any program

Google has this amazing program called Google Transliteration IME (catchy, I know) that enables any user to type PHONETICALLY (i.e. matching sounds of native language alphabet with Roman alphabets), and includes smart prediction too.

For example, when I write 'shuroo' in English, it will appear شروع in Urdu. All you have to do is click on one button in the language bar. It is fully integrated with Windows and works on any text field - be it email, chat or even MS Office. It does NOT require a working net connection.

As usual with Google, they are shortly shutting this excellent service down.

Grab the file while you still can
