Sinhala (සිංහල) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by the Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka. It is spoken by over 16 million people worldwide both as first and second language.
For those whose first language is not Sinhala, typing and translating from English to Sinhala can be challenging. Many websites and agencies provide online and offline translation and interpreting services, but these services can be expensive, and free options often offer poor or unreliable translations.
While it makes sense to hire professionals for translating specialized subjects and official documents, there is no need to pay for translating commonly used words and phrases. For this purpose, our online software can be used.
Our translation software provides high-quality translation results for free, as it uses Google’s powerful translation API to instantly translate sentences between English and Sinhala. You can use our tool to translate up to 500 characters per request—and the good news is, you can make unlimited requests.
Though the translation result may not always be 100% accurate, it can be quite accurate with a few modifications. We have also integrated Google’s Input Tool, which allows you to easily edit or modify the translated Sinhala text. Additionally, our software is continuously evolving, and we hope it will soon produce near-perfect translations.
Our tool also allows you to download or copy the translated text, making it easy to share on social media or use in word processing software (such as Microsoft Word) for further formatting.
If you have suggestions for improving our English to Sinhala translation, please let us know on our Facebook page.
Finally, we would appreciate it if you would like and share our page with your friends and family.
You can easily translate English words, sentences and phrases into corresponding Sinhala.
For example:Typing "First recorded use of Sinhala was discovered in 200 BC in a rock carvings." will be converted into "ප්රථම වරට වාර්තාගත සිංහල භාවිතය ක්රි.පූ 200 දී ගල් කැටයමකින් සොයා ගන්නා ලදී."
You can also use this software as a dictionary to convert English to Sinhala.
For example:Beautiful meaning in Sinhala will be "ලස්සනයි (Iassanayi)"
Brave meaning in Sinhala will be "නිර්භීත (Nirbhita)"
English To Sinhala, Sinhala To English, Tamil To Sinhala, Sinhala To Tamil
Just like in many other cultures around the world, in Sinhalese culture, greeting people and pleasantries are an important aspect of their social ritual. They are a small conversational dialogue that helps to establish connection, build relationships and make conversations more enjoyable.
Besides, if you are planning to travel to Sri Lanka then you can also find essential phrases to help you communicate with locals for day-to-day and general activities.
