A new year and a new tool on the Kwintessential website!

The transliteration tool phonetically converts a word written in one script into another. Transliteration should not be confused with translation, which involves a change in language while preserving meaning. With transliteration, it is the sound of the words that are converted from one alphabet to the other.

The transliteraion tool currently only supports the following languages – Bengali (bn), Gujarati (gu), Hindi (hi), Kannada (kn), Malayalam (ml), Marathi (mr), Nepali (ne), Punjabi (pa), Tamil (ta), Telugu (te) and Urdu (ur).
