English to Kannada Translation

About our English to Kannada translation tool

Years ago, it was quite difficult and time consuming to translate text from one language to another. Any translation performed would involved using simple vocabularies with word-for-word translation. This was very inefficient and inaccurate, as any translated text would lose the actual meaning of the sentence.

For those whose mother tongue is not Kannada, translating English to Kannada can be difficult. There are many agencies and websites that provide services for translation, localisation or interpreting. But these services are expensive and could range from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. You can expect to pay from $0.08 to $0.40 per word!

While it is a good idea to pay professionals for translating highly specialized subjects and official documents - there is no need to pay for translating commonly spoken words, sentences, and phrases. For this, you can use our online English to Kannada translation software.

Our translation software is FREE. It makes use of the powerful Google translation API which uses Google’s pre-trained neural machine translation to instantly translate words and phrases between English to Kannada. You can translate up to a maximum of 500 characters per request and can make an unlimited request.

Although our Kannada translation is not 100% accurate - with a few modifications it can be pretty accurate. It is particularly helpful in framing the sentence and to get a general idea on what the sentence is conveying the message. It is therefore used by thousands of people around the globe.

So go ahead and use our translation tool. Copy the translated text and share them on Facebook, Twitter or email it to your loved ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions on Kannada translation and typing

How do I use a Kannada translator?

In the text box on the left, enter words or phrases that you want to translate in a complete sentence. After a few seconds, the text will be translated into the language selected on the right drop-down menu. You can also click on the “translate” button for immediate translation.

You can also translate in a different language by choosing the language option from the drop-down menu.

How does text translation work?

Whenever you translate phrases, sentences or even large texts - we send API requests to Google. This request consists of the text you have requested to translate along with the source and target language you have chosen from the drop-down menu. In return, Google sends a response back with the translated text.

Behind the scenes, Google algorithms use a neural machine translation - a “deep learning” practice that compares whole sentences at a time from a broader range of linguistic sources. This has brought many advantages over conventional phrase-based translation systems and as a result, it is able to translate with a greater accuracy giving the full context rather than just sentence clauses in isolation.
