The last enhancement was difficult to add but it happened.

There is a trick to it.
Anuvadak now uses Arial Unicode MS font to show all languages. Unfortunately I cannot pack the font with the application as it would be illegal. Also the font file is around 28 MB. But no problem.
The font is packed with all the versions of Microsoft office 2007 onwards. It is located in Windows> Fonts directory by name Arial Unicode MS. Download the font from the windows (PC) directory and copy it your windows phone > Windows > Fonts directory. Install the app, Restart the phone and bingo!! all languages show up now

For people who don't have access to Arial Font, I am attaching a another Unicode font (free). Download that font and repeat the copying instructions as above and it should show up nicely. One thing to remember, when using the alternate font remember to change settings from the application menu to choose Bitstream cyberbit.

The drawback of using this (Bitstream cyberbit) font is that it doesn't show every character in every language. Some characters from Arabic, Persian and Chinese are missing. Hindi is completely missing.

If anybody has any problem, let me know and I will try to help you as much as I can.

I am open for positive and constructive criticism. As I mentioned before I am working on Speech to Text feature as a major release but I will be taking note of the current bugs and will be releasing minor fixes as versions.

Please test it out and let me know of any requests, bugs...

Also I would like to thank everybody for their suggestions and specially to the beta testers for testing Anuvadak 1.1

At last a very sincere thanks to people who have donated to Anuvadak

Works great on my HD2. A quick comment, however:
I normally use Google translator for looking up how to say Chinese phrases. And, of course, Chinese uses a character system. While the characters show up just fine in the app, I do not have the option to view the Romanization of the characters (how they would be pronounced), though this is offered on Google's website.
Any plans to implement this?
Edit: Nevermind, Romanization is evidently supported, I guess Chinese just isn't working for it.

Other than that, beautiful app, defiantly keeping it on my must-have list.

Thanks !!! I am glad you liked it..
About romanization .. could you let me know the phrase you tried to translate.. ? According to me it should work for chinese .. ?

Thanks!!

... Some kind of app memory. It's a li'l tedious to have to choose your langs on every launch. Maybe a config file in the app dir, or a few reg entries.
And, by "Speech to text" do you mean speech recognition? 'Cause, that'd be purrty *****in'.

Sure.. next minor release will see your suggestion .. (i dont know how I missed that lol )

And yeah you guessed it right ... speech recognition !!!! its the next big thing I am working on ...
