Google has introduced technologies that will allow people in India to use local languages in search queries and that will generate content in local languages. Internet growth in India is expected to come from outside of cities, where many people are more at ease using Indian languages, Roli Agarwal, a spokeswoman for Google India, said Monday.
Google has set up a version for India of Google Labs, which it styles as a "technology playground" for products that are in development and require market feedback to improve.
