To type Kannada without a Kannada keyboard, type the words in English letters (for example namaskara) and press space; they become Kannada before translation. For long Kannada documents, write them first in the Kannada typing tool.
Getting a better translation
- Write short, complete sentences. Machine translation struggles with long sentences that have several clauses.
- Avoid slang and abbreviations like "pls", "u" or "govt"; write the full word.
- Translate a sentence back to check it. If the meaning comes back changed, rephrase the original.
- For legal, medical or exam documents, use the translation as a draft and have a person who knows both languages check it.
