Google and Gmail in Hindi

It is possible to Google in Hindi. Go to http://www.google.co.in/

You can choose the Indian language in which you want to Google. You can just type your search topic in transliteration (English alphabet). There will be a drop down menu as you type, showing the word you are typing in Hindi. Using Google in Hindi will take you directly to available online Hindi sources.

Gmail
You can now have your settings on Gmail in Hindi. Go to http://mail.google.com/mail/ and create an account or, if you already have one, go to 'Settings' and choose 'Hindi' fron the drop down menu. While this will turn your account into Hindi, it will not allow you to actually mail in Hindi...
