How do I form conjunct consonants?

Type consonants together with no vowel between them and the tool joins them with a virama, for example nt gives न्त.

How do I type long vowels?

Double the vowel letter, so aa gives आ, ii gives ई and uu gives ऊ.

Is this transliteration or translation?

It is transliteration: it converts the sounds you type into Devanagari and does not translate the meaning.

Type Sanskrit words spelled in English letters and they turn into Sanskrit (संस्कृतम्) script as you type. For example, namaste becomes नमस्ते.

This is transliteration (by sound), not translation. Type the Sanskrit words themselves in English letters, not an English sentence. Typing an English phrase such as "my name is" only spells those English sounds in Devanagari script, it does not translate the meaning.
