COOL SITE: With Google Transliterate, you type a Roman character on your keyboard and Google transliterates it to the equivalent character in 19 languages. While this doesn't offer the translation feature of Google Translated Search, it lets you run a quick search to see the number of mentions of a name or brand in a language you cannot easily type on your keyboard. Note: this is useful if you are trying to trace your ancestors who came over here from Russia! (Thanks to Information Services, www.BatesInfo.com/tip.html)
