How to type in Gujarati using an English keyboard
Write the word the way it sounds, in English letters, and press Space. The top suggestion is inserted; click any other suggestion to change it. Ctrl + G switches between Gujarati and English, so you can mix English words like names or brands in the same sentence.
Gujarati script looks like Devanagari without the top line. Most Hindi typing habits carry over: aa for the long vowel, sh for શ.

About Gujarati
Gujarati (ગુજરાતી) is written in the Gujarati script. About 5.5 crore people in India speak it as their mother tongue (Census 2011), mainly in Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. Gujarat government jobs often require Gujarati computer knowledge. For daily use, phonetic typing here works on any computer without installing a keyboard.
Gujarati to English, and translation
This page changes the script, not the language: it helps you write Gujarati. To change the meaning from one language to another, use English to Gujarati translation or Gujarati to English translation.
The text is Unicode, so it works in WhatsApp, Facebook, email, MS Word, Google Docs and government forms. Fonts like Nirmala UI on Windows and Noto Sans on phones display it correctly.
