English to Tanglish

Tanglish is a blend of Tamil and English — it refers to Tamil words and sentences written in the Roman (English) alphabet, commonly used in text messages, WhatsApp chats, and social media among Tamil speakers. For example, "How are you?" in Tanglish is "Nalla irukkingala?"

Simply type your English text in the source textarea (on the left or top) and click the Translate button. The Tanglish translation will appear instantly in the target box. For example, typing "The meeting was cancelled, I'm free." gives you "Meeting cancel aachi, naan free."

Our online translation software uses advanced AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology — specifically a large language model (LLM) — to translate words, sentences, and phrases from English to Tanglish.

Whenever you enter words, sentences, or phrases in English and click on the “Translate” button, our software sends your text to an AI language model trained specifically for English to Tanglish translation.

The AI uses cutting-edge natural language processing technology to understand context, idiomatic expressions, and cultural nuances — producing natural-sounding translations in Tanglish.

All this process just takes a split second.

Tanglish has no official spelling standard. Different Tamil speakers spell the same word differently based on their regional dialect and personal habit. For example, "vanakkam" (hello) might also be written as "vanakam". Our AI translator picks the most widely understood phonetic form.
