General instructions

Here I made a transliterator-redirector which may be really useful for you, if you want to

using simple shortcuts in your browsers address bar (for example typing "tg privet" will result in the search of the russian word привет in google).

How does it work?

The principle is very simple:

the query-string: m=de:translit:russian:google&s=privet means open google with the russian transliteration and the de (german) interface with the query привет.

Implemented features so far

Of course google and russian ist not the only thing implemented so far and there is the possibility for using abbrevations for the names:

Implemented sites, (abbrevation)

Implemented Transliterations

(look at http://ncnever.free.fr/translit/ for the transliteration tables):

The languages of the sites

The language parameter depends on the site. Wikipedia and google offer nearly all languages. Examples are:

Be sure to use the rights abbrevations. For georgian as example wikipedia uses ka and google uses ge. If leave out the language parameter, the language will be taken from the transliteration direction, e.g.

is equivalent to

Other abbrevations and features

So let's try some examples

Let's look at the georgian stuff


That's fine, but how to use it?

Implementation in Mozilla Firefox

The Bookmark adding dialog in Firefox

Implementation in Konqueror

The Bookmark adding dialog in Konqueror

Implementation in Maxthon

Maxthon is a MS IE with tabs and other features.

Implementation in Microsoft Internet Explorer

For this browser exists a simple way to implement your search-shortcuts: http://searchy.protecus.de/de/add.php.
For the implemented searches here I already made these entries in the protecus.de-database, so you don't have to enter it a twice. You can easily download the following .reg files. (I Think you can trust protecus.de, but please pay attention, that you are downloading .reg-files which may be a security risk for your Computer!)

You can set your own shortcut by modifying the link &shortcut=YOURSHORTCUT. After having downloaded a file execute it. That's all.
If you want to uninstall these registry-entries, look at http://searchy.protecus.de/ at the bottom, there is a .reg-file which unistalls them. You should even look around at this site there, they have a lot of useful search-shortcuts!


Planed features

Suggestions

If you want me to add some other searcheengines or transliteration directions or if you have any suggestions for improvements, please feel free to contact me by email – I'll quickly add your wishes.
You can even send me your prefered oder additional transliteration alphabets an I'll add them with your own alphabet name (for example you would have to replace the language by ru2 or greek).

I hope that this service is useful for you.
