Help with translation

On another board I visit this question popped up...

Quote:
Does anybody here speak Sanskrit or Hindi? Or, can anybody recommend an online resource that is pretty good with translations?

I'd like the following translated:

Blind Mendicants
Purifying Flame
Sun's Path
Darkened Penitents

I want to use Taiia from the Deitys & Demigods for an Indian-themed area of my campaign world and the names above are sects of her faith.

Anyway, if nothing else, thank you for reading.
I figure this is the place to ask......

Sun's path : S: aaditya-patha (pronounce puh-thuh) ; H: suurya-path

Sans: AaidTy pw ;; H; sUyR-pw (dwn load font)

Darkened penitents: Sans: timiraavartaanushokaartaaH; H: kaluShita pashtaattaapiiyon (the Hindi version sounds un-natural; i couldn't come up with something better)

Sans : itimravtaRnuzaekataR> ;; H: klui;t pZtaÄapIya (dwn load font)


What is that other forum? On linguistics?

I'll request Mike to download a Sanskrit cum Hindi font so that all of us can write in the devanaagarii script. Called the Itranslator99; it can be downloaded FREE from this omkarananda ashram site.this omkarananda ashram site.

On the other hand, maybe Mike doesn't need to install the font. You install it on your computer..... and see if you can read my devanaagarii script.
If experiment successful, post a small note. Many IM'ers will use it.

Thanks Avid, it's for a role-playing (D&D) forum. A guy's trying to make up Indian sounding names.

I grabbed the program. It translates when you put it in, but does't auto-translate when viewed on a mesage board. It's pretty cool thou....
