Chrome extension for multilingual input using jQuery.ime

It was fun attending Wikipedia DevCamp Banglore edition at IIM Bangalore. I got the opportunity to meet lots of people and had a memorable time building interesting things with them. And it was then I pushed my first code contribution to wikipedia, which was a bug fix to mediawiki ULS extension :)

Here's a chrome extension I built as a part of hackathon using which you can input text in many languages in browser. It uses the brilliant jQuery.ime library built by Wikimedia Foundation which has support for many languages. This extension is completely offline and it won a cool Wikipedia shoulder bag too ;)

Thanks to Santhoshettan who gave the initial spark for this idea and helped me throughout.
