- Check names, numbers and dates in the result.
- For legal, medical or official documents, ask a professional translator.
Santali Translator – Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Santali translator free?

How do I translate English into Santali?
Open the English translator – it opens with Santali 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 Santali 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 Santali keyboard itself works without one once the page has loaded.
