As far as current reality and emerging trends in global management practices is concern, the use and role of information technology is changed very drastically. At the earlier phase, the language or media of storing data on computer was restricted to English language because of ASCII(American Standard for Information Interchange) standards developed by Bell laboratories. But as the computerization or automation increased in the field of business, banking, insurance, e-governance, e-books, e-commerce etc. it creates a new challenge to store different types of data(text/audio/video/images etc) in different volumes(quantity), also the network communication. This challenge spawns different areas in IT industry like data warehousing, data mining, www, networking, computer security etc. But the present study focuses on the area which can influence on the computer users across the world. The objective of the study is to explain the algorithm by which any computer user can communicate with computer in his/her mother tongue like (Marathi/Hindi/Sanskrit/Gujarati hundreds of Languages across the world)This is implemented by using UNICODE(Universal Code) which was introduced in 1988. But UNICODE could not become so popular as it was expected. We have implemented an algorithm and program in C#. net by which Computer user can customize the keystrokes of keyboards to match the keystroke of their mother tongue. He can create multiple keyboard layouts for many languages. This is immensely helpful for all the users from KG to PG and research, because language will not be the barrier for learning the use and usage of Computer.
