NHM Converter is a free-of-cost Tamil font encoding converter tool from the makers of NHM writer.
Now, NHM Converter is available online too. Since this is browser dependent, now we have a converter for Linux, Mac operating systems too. Earlier, Suratha’s Pongu Tamil was the only available tool.
The downloadble version is available for Windows and will be soon made available for Linux too.
Some of the features of NHM converter are:
1. Embedded fonts. You don’t need to install any fonts.
2. Speed of the conversion as conversion takes place at client side. We used NHM converter for the Tamil Wiktionary Automation project and it helped us convert font encoding of large MB files with ease.
3. Auto detect encoding
4. Extendability
5. Sometimes it will be helpful, if you want to type in a 8 -bit encoding without any font. (another usage of font embedding feature)

Hi Mr. Rethnaraj
There is nothing special you should do to type in Tamil in WordPress. Use tools like NHM writer and you can type in anywhere in Tamil offline / Online
you can download nhm writer from
http://software.nhm.in/Products/NHMWriter/tabid/55/Default.aspx
thanks sir,
another thing. how to create categories in tamil and in post comments place, how to change ‘leave a reply’ in tamil?
like in Tamil Hindu.com
how they change everything to tamil?
If you have a blog like http://xyz.wordpress.com hosted at wordpress.com then go to /wp-admin/options-general.php and choose the blog language as Tamil. You can expect many of the blog interface to show in Tamil. But not guaranteed 100%.
If you are hosting the site by your own like TamilHindu.com, then you need to edit the theme files manually. the theme files are located at /wp-content/themes/

Hello,
I am a mac user. I’ve downloaded the converter, but I don’t know how to use it. What program do I use to open it? Please post step by step instructions.
Thanks,

The NHM converter is really nice to use, but while converting Bamini to unicode I find that several characters are not translated correctly. Are you aware of how I can get around that?
Thanks,
Annamalai
Hi Ravi!
I couldn’t read Tamil font in web sites. It appears as question mark. Please solve this problem.
Thanks with
Rathan
Hi rathan, can I know some websites you have problem with? Please let me know the operating system, browser you use too. In general you should be able to Unicode sites like Tamil Wikipedia ( http://ta.wikipedia.org ) without problem. Try installing Firefox 3.5+ and NHM writer. It should enable Tamil support.
