AI Nepali Translator

Nepal is linguistically diverse — Nepali (Khas Kura) is the official language and lingua franca, but most educated Nepalis also use English professionally. Translation between the two is a daily need: reading English documentation and writing Nepali responses, drafting official letters, localizing software, or communicating across language barriers.

AI-powered translation

This tool uses Claude (Anthropic) for translation. Unlike statistical machine translation (Google Translate's older approach), Claude understands context and produces more natural-sounding output, particularly for longer texts and formal registers.

Register selection

Nepali has a formal honorific register (आदरणीय) used in official letters, business communication, and formal situations. The informal register is used in daily conversation and casual writing. Choosing the wrong register in professional contexts is a common mistake that signals lack of social awareness. The tool lets you specify which register you need.

Limitations

- Technical jargon may not translate accurately — always review domain-specific terms - Regional dialects and colloquialisms are not well-supported - Very long texts (>5,000 words) should be split into sections - Legal, medical, and financial translations should be reviewed by a qualified professional before use

Devanagari input

You can type Nepali directly in Devanagari using a Nepali keyboard layout, or use transliteration (type "namaste" to get "नमस्ते"). The tool accepts both as input.
