Do not use # as it will lead to error and may not give any useful output/display. In Indian script notartion, ITRANS does not allow following upper case letters
B C F G O P Q S V W X Y Z
So do not use them.
Don't Mix english with marathii: In standard ITRANS
English(Roman) and Indian script can be alternated using ## toggle.
e.g. ##My mother tongue is ##sa.nskR^ita\. ##Happy Birthday ##. If
you want space after English
text
add one before ending ##, e.g. namaste ##Hello ## namaste. The space
after ## is not used. However for this voterlist program we fully
support only input of Marathii or input in only English that is
converted. We are some what tolerant but that is not promised
feature.
From usual style of using 'oo' and 'ee' should be
substituted by U or uu and I or ii.
Please pay attention to
following letters which will 'diirgha svara'-s e.g. aa, ii, uu, and
retroflex/Linguals/muurdhanya letters
Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, Na.
Do
not use # $ @ % by themselves as they are not supported in Indian
scripts.
Please let us know your suggestion in improving this
short list.
