For example i have a post named ‘Avakaaya’ with its content in English in my English blog. I want to export all these posts to a new telugu blog with the same headings. How can i convert the headings of my blog to a telugu blog automatically?

    If you want transliteration, there are tools. One of such tools is Padma. It can convert text from RTS to Unicode.
