The Google translate site will accept transliterated Hindi (just make sure the
accept phonetic typing box is checked). It converts to Devanagari on the
fly, then translates. Is that what you were looking for? Of course, at each
stage, there is the chance for potential noise to be added to the signal, but
there you have it.

Doug, No idea on your specific question re online MT for non-standard Latin
transcriptions of Hindi. However, it sounds like a 2- or 3-step process: first
into the script ( via perhaps a preliminary step to clean up the
transcription), then through the translator.
From past experience running simple Chinese texts through a variety of online
hanyu - pinyin and MT applications, and from ongoing observations of
non-standard transcriptions of African languages (mostly interference from
European language orthographic conventions or simple expediency of ASCII), it
occurs that there could be a great benefit to having arrays of online
utilities alongside MT for transliteration between scripts and correction of
orthographies / transcriptions.
Presently, as your question re Hindi and my somewhat dated (and admittedly
rather limited) experience with Chinese indicate, doing anything online with
transliterations or irregular transcriptions of text (esp. in tandem with MT)
can present challenges.

Anyone know of a Web site that will accept input in Latin-script Hindi,
probably not an official orthography, and translate it into English? Google
Translate seems to accept Hindi only in Devanagari.
Thanks,
