This plugin enables Google Transliteration in wordpress comment form. So your blog readers can leave comments in Kannada script without the need of any other input engines. This is a great step to encourage people to write comments in Kannada language in your Kannada blog. This plugin adds a transliteration controller at the top of comment form. Users can click on the transliterate switch or press <strong>Ctrl+G</strong> to toggle between English and Kannada input languages. Default language is English.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why there is no options page for this plugin? =
This is a very simple plugin which just enables Google Transliteration on Wordpress comment form. No need to configure anything. I'm working on giving admin an option to enable/disable transliteration by default though. It will be available in the next release.


= How can I enable Transliteration by default in the current version? =

Open `kannada-comment.php` file and change <strong>`transliterationEnabled: false`</strong> to <strong>`transliterationEnabled: true`</strong>

= Does it work with Facebook comment, disqus or any other commenting systems? =

No, it works with default Wordpress commenting system only. Facebook comment, disqus or any other commenting systems are not supported in this plugin.

= Will this plugin affect Name, Email and Website fields in Wordpress comment form? =

No, Transliteration is enabled only for comment form `textarea` only. So, it will not transliterate input text in the above fields.

= How to change the position of Transliterate control switch? =

Open `kannada-comment.php` file and replace <strong>`add_action('comment_form_top',  'kannada_comment_switch');`</strong> with <strong>`add_action('comment_form',  'kannada_comment_switch');`</strong> to move transliterate control switch below the comment text area and replace with <strong>`add_action('comment_form_after',  'kannada_comment_switch');`</strong> to move at the bottom of comment form. I will add the option to set the position of `Transliterate control switch` in the next release.

<strong>Transliterate control switch</strong> is wrapped with <strong>kncomment</strong> div and description with <strong>kncomment-text</strong> class. Use them in your theme to style the controller.
