English uses Latin while Sinhala uses Sinhala. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.
Both English and Sinhala belong to the Indo-European language family. Related languages tend to share vocabulary roots and comparable sentence structure, which generally makes machine translation between them more reliable — though false friends, words that look alike but mean different things, are also more common between relatives.
English follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Sinhala follows subject-object-verb (SOV). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.
English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers. Sinhala: Approximately 18 million native speakers, making it the majority language of Sri Lanka.
