the equivalent of संतोष in Malayalam should be സംതോഷ്, But it is the wrong spelling. The correct spelling is സന്തോഷ്.

This can be used for CLIR. Search/Retrieval system for many e governance applications can be modeled on this and will be very useful.

How different is the soundex for संतोष from the one for संतौष? Incidentally the Sanskrit spelling for the word is संतोष – not sure how it’s spelled in Malayalam.

Thanks for the post, will try out the implementation and provide feedback.
