We've integrated site-wide language TRANSLATIONS so you can now translate any of our web pages (including dynamic content) into Telugu, Hindi or any of the 133 languages using the Language dropdown in the header to read them in the language of your choice for better understanding (you should be Logged-in to access this language dropdown). For instance, you can translate our English topics, articles and blogs into Telugu, Hindi, etc. and read them with ease. After translating a page, you can also hover or tap on any item to see its original/English version in a popup. Also, you can compose a topic, article, blog, etc. in English, Telugu, etc. and translate it into Telugu, English, etc. before submitting. You can also submit a topic/article/blog/event/etc., then translate the posted content, copy the translated content, edit the content, paste/replace the content with the translation and save.

NOTE: if you don't see "English" item in the Language dropdown to translate a non-English page (eg: page with Telugu content), first translate it into some other language and then you will see the "English" item in the dropdown.

Your language choice is remembered across pages and you can change the language or restore the English version at any time from the translation toolbar that appears in the header after translation. On mobile devices, you may have to tilt the device HORIZONTALLY to see the full translation toolbar.

Portions of this site may not translate by design.

I spend a ton of time on Latest news, Live news, News radio, Live radio, Movies, Photos and Podcasts. These pages have so much content that can be consumed in the background even while working. Daily Dose page has info and challenges to update our knowledge and sharpen our brains. There is so much to learn on Movies page about actors, cast, crew, biographies, trailers, similar movies, etc. Screensavers and Animals pages are cool as stress busters. Spoken English page is highly educational. A big THANK YOU for all these!!

fully agree. I haven't seen such useful pages packed with so much info anywhere so far! where can we find a page like "latest news" that has literally thousands of news, cricket, politics, movies, tech, reviews, business, NRI, horoscope, etc. aggregated from dozens of sources on a single page or “live news” with dozens of currently live streaming videos aggregated on a single page or the "photos" page with links to hundreds of thousands of celebrity photos aggregated on a single page or the "live radio" page with literally dozens of thousands of songs aggregated on a single page or "podcasts" page with literally thousands of interesting podcast episodes aggregated on a single page?

each of these pages is a unique gem and packed with news, useful info, entertainment, educational content all at our fingertips and just a click away... the pages are actually overflowing and more than we could ask for. the recently added language dropdown to quickly translate any page into any language is super slick! we could compose topics, blogs, articles and comments and translate them into another language before submitting - at a whole nother level. plus, the site is so beautiful using cool themes...!! time well spent and worth every second for users.

kudos to the team for the efforts!

Eliminated the redundant tags system to simplify the Topic, Movie, Event, Blog and Article posting forms.

Simply select a Forum and post quickly and easily with fewer clicks... Even quicker way to post a topic, movie, blog, article or event is use the LINKS global button available on the top of ALL pages for instant access with popular Quick Post one-click shortcut links which will directly select the correct forum for you.

Also color-coded some forums for a visual cue and Data Visualization in the Topic listing which you can see before clicking on them for extra caution. For instance, take a look at these and see how EASY they are on the eyes (very quickly, users will identify topics by just forum colors) -

Comedy & Humor

Andhra

Telangana

Other News

Crime

Animals & Nature

All other forums under Entertainment category

All forums under Assets category

Vlogging & Lifestyle

Sports & Games

All forums under Technology category

All forums under Relationships category

Food & Drink

Health & Fitness

Beauty & Fashion

Discussions

BREAKING NEWS

GRAPHIC CONTENT

NSFW

...

 

The above changes resulted in creating these 2 new forums to separate their content -

Copy / Paste - you can now copy and paste rich-text content across various themes like Dark to Light and vice-versa and it displays fine without any artifacts.

Paste As Plain Text - soon after you paste rich-text content, an option to "Paste As Plain Text Instead" appears at the bottom of the editor which you can use to convert the pasted text into plain text with one click. If the option to convert disappears, undo the paste operation and re-paste to make the option appear again.

Undo / Redo - the editor has Undo and Redo buttons in its toolbar.

NSFW: For now, topics in NSFW forum will automatically use the Barbie theme while browsing as a visual indicator for your safety. For instance -

Welcome to NSFW forum!

You can use the Filter checkboxes widget on the top-right to view topics in the chosen forums.

You will not be able to switch to another Theme while browsing topics in NSFW forum. Your preferred theme will be used/restored while browsing all other forums and areas.

We'll create a new danger RED theme to apply for NSFW forum soon...

Google Search (Cross-Linked, 1-Click, 2-Way Search)

Bringing you a powerful new integrated search feature - Google Search (telugus.com/google) - right on our site as an alternative search option.

Now, both our search pages (Site Search and Google Search) are cross-linked to switch between them with 1-Click and the search parameters are carried over seamlessly so you don't have to perform the same search all over again. Let's see how this works...

Click the google-search-30x30.png icon in the menu bar on the top-left (also available under the Activity menu) and it takes you to our Google Search page -

search-google.jpg

Perform some search and it will fetch Telugus.com results from Google's search index using their state-of-the-art Cloud infra with a plethora of powerful and world-class search features at blazing speed (that's like driving a FERRARI 250 GTO for the price of a Camry - yeah, literally!) and also generate a cross-link to perform the exact same search on our Site Search page with 1-Click. Every time you perform a search, it will regenerate the cross-link (Eg: Search for "test" using our Site Search feature.. as in the above screenshot).

Clicking on the cross-link takes you to our Site Search page with the search form pre-loaded with the same search words, Telugus.com results fetched (no need to perform the search again for the same search terms) and also a cross-link BACK to our Google Search page to re-perform the exact same search -

search-default.jpg

This, in other words, is Cross-Linked, 1-Click, 2-Way Search - a BIG update right on our site without having to visit Google and the Telugus.com results are quite different on both pages as you'll notice.

Quick Search: Entering search words into the Quick Search box on the top-right takes you to our Site Search page (as always) and now it also has the cross-link to our Google Search page to re-perform the exact same search with just 1-Click on the cross-link -

search-quick.jpg

Keep in mind, Google Search fetches results for Telugus.com only and may NOT include the recently posted/updated content that may not have been indexed on Google yet. Google Search page has more powerful features and can search for 2-letter and 1-letter searches, stemming, plurals, synonyms, acronyms, etc. (not possible on Site Search page and also not possible on any other forum sites). For instance, it is NOT possible to search for 2-letter and 1-letter searches like AP, TG, “C” (language), “X” (Twitter), etc. using our Site Search page (will find no results) but the same searches will fetch results using our Google Search page! You can use the Sort By dropdown to re-order the results.

NOTE: Similar to our Site Search, we are going to LIMIT our Google Search feature to our Logged-in users only soon and so, if you would like to check it out in action as a Guest user, now is the time (you still won't be able to access our Site Search page as it was already limited to Logged-in users).


More filtered sections on Latest News page

We've added a few more filtered sections on our Latest News (telugus.com/news) page for your convenience -

  1. Andhra News 1
  2. Andhra News 2
  3. Telangana News 1
  4. Telangana News 2
  5. Telangana News 3

If you are interested in only Andhra or only Telangana news, those are the filtered sections you could check out to save time.

With the above additions, we now have 50 sections of latest news updated frequently and automatically with literally THOUSANDS of news items - local, national, regional and from around the world - all on a single page and at your fingertips!

Latest News - Telugus.com

NOTE: Due to fetching thousands of news items from dozens of sources, it may take a few seconds to load the Latest News page so please be patient. If it does not load the page in 10 seconds, it indicates expired cache and may take 30+ seconds. Once data is cached (by you or other users), it will reload quickly. You can check the helpful Timestamp and Page Load Time values on the top of the page for reference of when the page was last loaded (in relation to the news items that display like "10 minutes ago...") and how long it took to load the page. At times, some news providers may introduce errors into their feeds failing some sections to load (rare) but they will load when those errors are resolved. Also, refreshing the page may load some unloaded sections.

Adventures in Odyssey (AIO) is a 37-year old, high-quality podcast started in 1987 and has been one of the longest-running radio programs still in production. The podcast has beautiful episodes of conversations between family, friends, peers and more and a lot to learn from. We've created a new page for this podcast with close to a 1,000 audio episodes all the way from 1987-2022 (many more episodes coming soon) along with some video playlists and also created a whole new, sophisticated and user-friendly Audio Player for this with powerful features from ground up. Click or Tap the "" or press F1 on this AIO page to display a brief Help popup on the Audio Player listing its Keyboard Shortcuts for advanced/power-users.

Because of its educational value, we've added the AIO podcast to our new Adventures in Odyssey page (telugus.com/aio - under the News dropdown menu, in What's New? sidebar section on all pages) and also Podcasts (telugus.com/podcasts) and Spoken English (telugus.com/english) pages for improving conversation, accent, slang and listening skills. Try listening to the 1st audio episode titled, "Family Portraits Episode 8: The Letter" and the 2nd audio episode titled, "Family Portraits Episode 9: A Different Kind of Peer Pressure" to know how interesting and great the AIO podcast is. The beauty of this is that you can play any episode on your device with one click/tap and turn off its display and the audio will continue playing in the background so you could go out and about with your other activities like work, cooking, dining, shopping... which is great for inspiration with mobility.

Google Search (telugus.com/google) page will now list search results sorted in Date-descending order similar to our Site Search results (this is the default sort order but you can always change the sort order by Relevance or Date to re-order the results). We have also added Auto-Complete to our Google Search page that will show a dropdown of matching search strings as you type so you could simply scroll in the list and select one of them for a better UX. If you wanna search for words that are 2-char and 1-char long, Google Search is the ONLY way as our default Site Search can find only words >= 3 chars (just like any other site). Plus, Google Search can search using many features like stemming, plurals, synonyms, acronyms, misspelled search terms, auto-complete, insignificant stop-words search, sorting, image search and much more... with BLAZING speed right on our site. Do visit our Google Search page to see it in action.

Happening Now section in the sidebar on all pages is rendered without the quick-access live-streaming news videos for Guest users. To access live-streaming news of most popular channels quickly from any page, the user needs to be logged in. As you are already aware, the Language Translation dropdown in the header (to translate any of our webpages into any language for easier understanding) is also rendered for only logged-in users.

CLEANUP: Removed some less useful news sections from our aggregated Latest News (telugus.com/news - may take some time to load when its cache expires so be patient) page to make room for more useful news sources. We now have 50+ sections of news from as many sources - all aggregated on this single page and at your fingertips.

With these changes, we now have 22+ powerful features on our site - not found anywhere.

Just listened nonstop to the first two episodes of Adventures in Odyssey and they are well acted and beautiful with great BGM (Disney'esque and Jurassic). Even though they were the first ones back from 1987, they are much better and evergreen than any modern podcast. Mr. Whittaker is the mature sweet grandpa of the show. The family and peer conversations and conflicts are amazing! The new audio player is awesome!! These are addicting and can't wait to explore more.

:emoji-fireworks::emoji-dance-celebrate:

Thank you so much for this new AIO page!
