Google Transliteration.....offline

We all know about Google Transliteration right? It is that neat application from Google Labs which allows you to type using normal QWERTY keyboard with English alphabets and it gets converted in Marathi/Hindi automagiacally. It is really cool to see that happen. My only problem with that was it needs you to be online which rather restricted its use by me. For some time I tried to do without transliteration by keeping a printout of Marathi keyboard layout and typing with it. Unfortunately I couldn't get a hang of the thing really. a But not any more.
The new Google Transliteration IME works even offline. Whats more is now it even offers auto completion, dictionary based corrections and lot more.

The downside?? Works only on Windows for now... :(

Update (20th May 2011):
This seems to be one of the most popular posts of this blog. There were many queries to me offline. So for the benefit of others I am adding a few points below.

1. You need the complex script support installed within Windows, without which you would see small boxes instead of letters. Go to "Control Panel ==> Regional and Language Options ==> Languages Tab", click the checkbox against "Install files for complex script...." and finally click "OK" button.  It will ask to insert the windows installation disk and will copy the required files from there
2. Google transliteration IME is not a separate application. Do not search it in the "Programs" menu.In fact that it the good part. You can now type in Devnagari directly in any Unicode enabled application like Word, Excel, notepad etc. No more hassles of alt_tab copy/paste
3. You need not click on the language bar each time to switch languages while typing. you can enable shortcut keys to do that. To enable shortcuts, right click on the Language bar and select "Settings". At the bottom of the new popup you can see the button "Key Settings" which will allow you to bind specific keys to change the input language.
