How accurate is the Punjabi translation?
The translation is made by machine (Google Translate). It is very good for everyday messages, emails and getting the meaning of a text, but it can miss idioms, names and tone. For better results:
- Write short, complete sentences with correct spelling and punctuation.
- Check names, numbers and dates in the result.
- For legal, medical or official documents, ask a professional translator.
- Text typed with old Punjabi fonts such as Asees and Anmol Lipi is not Unicode and looks like random English letters to a translator. Retype it with the Punjabi keyboard, which always produces Unicode.
Punjabi Translator – Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Punjabi translator free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no daily limit. Each translation can be up to 5,000 characters long – split longer texts into parts.
How do I translate English into Punjabi?
Open the English translator – it opens with Punjabi already chosen as the language to translate into.
Can I hear how the translation sounds?
Yes. Press the speaker button under either box. The voice comes from your device, so the available voices – and whether a language can be read aloud – depend on your phone or computer.
Is my Punjabi text saved?
No. We do not store your text. To translate it, your browser sends it to Google Translate, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
Does the translator work offline?
No. Translation needs an internet connection because it is done by Google Translate. Typing with the Punjabi keyboard itself works without one once the page has loaded.
Can I translate Punjabi text from an image?
Yes. Use Punjabi image to text to read the text from a photo or scan, then press Translate to open it here.
