Dominik,

That is a very strange and I suspect not well thought-out line of the Sanskrit Library license. In any case, the transliteration tools I mentioned are simple webpage forms where the transliterating work is done on the server, so no software is downloaded, and since nothing is encrypted I believe US export controls are not relevant here.

I'll reply in longer form off-list.

But Tim, those of us outside the USA have to be careful about the Sanskrit Library materials.  When you use the SL, you have to agree to a lot of legal terms, including

Software from this site is further subject to United States export controls. Software from this site may not be downloaded or otherwise exported or reexported outside the United States. By downloading or using the Software, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or territory outside of the United States.

If we use the transliteration program that you pointed to, it probably uploads software to our browser.  For people outside the USA, that contravenes the terms of the SL agreement. 

Who cares, right?  But still.

Best,
Dominik

To add to the flurry of options here, I have found the Sanskrit Library's transliteration tool quite useful for this purpose: http://sanskritlibrary.org/tomcat/sl/TranscodeText

Dear friends,

I would appreciate recommendations for a readily available, efficient and accurate
program to convert unicode Sanskrit romanization to devanagari. (Vedic accents
are not needed.)

with thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Matthew
