>>The tool is called Narayam. Calling it "Typing in Tamil" is wrong and leads to
issues like this. Narayam provides you with a keyboard method and is not
restricted to Tamil. Thanks, GerardM

Gerard,
The entire point of adding this tool was to make it easy for people who dont
have in built typing solutions to identify a typing solution from the screen.
Labelling it Narayam isn't going to help anyone. The major part of the target
demographic for this typing tool are people are non-regular users and IP
editors, who will wander in and want to type in Tamil. That is why labeling it
"To type in Tamil" is a must here. The previous javascript typing tool was also
titled "to type in Tamil". Narayam has replaced it under the same name. 

Here is the short summary - Tamil wikiprojects need a tool for users to type in
Tamil - not multilingual typing solutions. This was what we had in the old JS
tool and this is what we agreed to have as an extension.
