If ULS can offer (without slowing down operations) set of most used Marathi
language words in roman script to word transliteration which gets
transliterated when space button is pressed For an example 'aahe' is one of
the
most used Marathi language word getting transliterated in to आहे after typing
'aahe' + space bar it should automatically transliterate to आहे .List be
updatable on translate wiki.This is much simmiller to the way google
transliterator works.

What you are requesting for is a dictionary backed input completion method. The technical scope of the request needs to be independently assessed. Extending this outright as a feature for any of the existing input methods is not feasible. I suggest a separate bug (or change the description of this) to mention clearly this specific request.

2)A separate word by word transliteration tool on the lines of Google
transliterator for indic wikis

This needs to go into a separate bug report.

3)Would it be possible in visual editor,for users up to 50 edits, marathi
words
typed in roman script get automatically substituted with Marathi Devenagari
script words , we can provide most used words list for the purpose

This needs to go into a separate bug report.

4)Can WMF request Google to make google indic trasnliterators schemes freely
available for Wiki ULS set.If becomes possible this may save time of
reinventing the wheel.

Out of scope of this bug.

As Andre already mentioned (bug #51345#c1), this is really becoming hard to connect. A summary of the pertinent section related to the immediate issue reported in the bug would be very helpful. Thanks.
