Written Tamil (used in translation) is more formal than spoken Tamil, so translated sentences may sound bookish in conversation.
How to translate Tamil to English
- Type or paste your Tamil text in the left box (up to 1,500 characters at a time).
- The translation appears on the right after a short pause. Click Translate to refresh it at once.
- Click Copy to use it, or the speaker button to hear it read aloud.
To type Tamil without a Tamil keyboard, type the words in English letters (for example vanakkam) and press space; they become Tamil before translation. For long Tamil documents, write them first in the Tamil 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.
