English to Sinhala Typing
Type Sinhala phonetically in English letters and convert to Sinhala script instantly.
Type Sinhala words spelled in English letters and they turn into Sinhala (සිංහල) script as you type. For example, ayubowan becomes අයුබොවන්.
This is transliteration (by sound), not translation. Type the Sinhala words themselves in English letters, not an English sentence. Typing an English phrase such as "my name is" only spells those English sounds in Sinhala script, it does not translate the meaning.
