To start typing in Tigrinya, just type a word as it is pronounced in English. This would then be transliterated into Tigrinya. For E.g. if you type “deHan wˋalu” then it would be transliterated into “ደሓን ውዓሉ”.
If the transliterated word is not what you have expected - either click on the word or use the backspace to get more choices on a drop-down menu.
A translation tells you the meaning of words in another language. For E.g the translation of "Have a Nice Day." would be "ደሓን ውዓሉ" in Tigrinya. You can use various online tool for translating word, sentence and phrase from English to Tigrinya for FREE. Some of the popular translation tool are Google Translator, Bing Translator for FREE.
On the other hand, transliteration software works on phonetics. A transliteration doesn't tell you the meaning of the words but it helps you pronounce them. What you type in Roman script is converted in Tigrinya script. For E.g. typing "Tsibuk E’dl" will be converted into " ጽቡቅ ዕድል".
Therefore, we can say, transliteration changes the letters from one alphabet into the similar-sounding characters of another alphabet. This makes it the simplest and fastest method of typing in Tigrinya without practising any Tigrinya Keyboard. You can either use Google Input Tool for FREE.
