This is amazing. Just put the first English letter of the word you need info on and it shows you a number of choices in Gujarati.
For example if you place the letter r in the googlebox it will show you all the possible Gujarati words that you can browse. When you click your choice, it shows you Gujarati sites and information in Gujarati. Keep playing (English in Gujarati) and you will see for yourself. This is fantastic! Try it and amaze yourselves!!
