English to Indian language translators
Three ways to translate
Type it
The quickest and most accurate way. Your translation updates by itself within a second of you stopping typing — there is no Translate button to press. When you write in English, spelling mistakes are underlined as you go, and they are worth fixing: a typo in the original almost always turns into a wrong word in the translation.
Say it
Tap the microphone and speak. Your browser turns your voice into text, so there is nothing to install. Voice input works best in Google Chrome, and a few browsers do not offer it at all — the tool will tell you if yours is one of them. Choose the language you are speaking in the “From” box before you begin.
Photograph it
Upload a photo of a sign, a form, a menu or a page from a book, and the text is read from the image and translated. The reading happens inside your browser, so the photo itself never leaves your device. The photo translation guide has tips for getting a clean result.
19 Indian languages from two language families
Indian languages are not versions of one another. They belong to separate language families with genuinely different grammar, and knowing which family a language belongs to is a good guide to how a translation into it will behave.
Indo-Aryan languages
Spoken across the north, west and east of India, these languages grew out of Sanskrit. They usually put the verb at the end of the sentence and change verbs and adjectives to match gender. They also share a large stock of formal, Sanskrit-based vocabulary, which is why a formal sentence can look alike in Hindi, Marathi and Nepali even though everyday speech in each is quite different.
Hindi · Bengali · Marathi · Gujarati · Punjabi · Odia · Urdu · Assamese · Nepali · Sanskrit · Sindhi · Kashmiri · Konkani · Maithili · Dogri
Dravidian languages
Spoken mainly in the south, these languages do not come from Sanskrit and work in a different way. They attach grammar to the end of a word as a chain of suffixes, so a whole English phrase can become a single word. If a Tamil or Malayalam translation looks much shorter than your English, that usually means it has worked — not that something is missing.
Tips for better translations
Keep sentences short
This is the biggest single improvement you can make. Many Indian languages place the verb last and the describing part of a sentence first, so a long English sentence has to be taken apart and rebuilt — and that is where meaning slips. Two short sentences translate far more reliably than one long one.
Choose the right tone
Most Indian languages show respect in the verb itself, so you speak differently to a friend than to an elder. English gives no such clue, which leaves the translator guessing. Use the Tone setting to decide for yourself: Formal for elders, customers and official messages, Casual for friends and family.
Expect idioms to come out literally
Sayings and idioms are usually translated word for word rather than swapped for the matching local expression, because that takes cultural knowledge, not just language. Every machine translator shares this weakness, so treat translated idioms as a rough draft.
Know that quality varies by language
Languages with plenty of text online — Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Urdu — translate very reliably. Konkani, Maithili, Dogri, Sindhi and Kashmiri have much less, so they handle everyday sentences well but struggle with technical words and unusual phrasing. Keep this in mind before relying on a result.
Frequently asked questions
Is BhashaBadlo really free?
Yes. There is no account, no subscription and no daily limit — the site is supported by advertising. Each translation is limited to 480 characters (not counting spaces), which keeps results accurate, and requests are capped at 20 a minute so the service stays fast for everyone.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. Your text is sent to the translation service to get a result and is never saved on our servers. We keep only anonymous usage records, such as which feature was used and whether it worked. Your History and Favourites stay in your own browser and never reach us. The Privacy Policy explains it in full.
Can I translate between two Indian languages?
Yes — English does not have to be involved. Choose any of the 19 languages in the “From” box and any others as targets. Bengali to Odia, Tamil to Kannada and Hindi to Marathi all work in exactly the same way.
Should I use it for official documents?
No. Every translation here is produced by a machine, and no person checks it. For legal papers, medical instructions, immigration forms or anything where a single wrong word matters, use a certified human translator. Our Disclaimer explains more.
