Kannada uses Kannada while Cantonese uses Chinese characters. 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.
Kannada belongs to the Dravidian family while Cantonese belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
Kannada follows subject-object-verb (SOV) order while Cantonese follows subject-verb-object (SVO). 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.
Kannada: Approximately 50 million speakers, making it one of the most widely spoken languages in India. Cantonese: Approximately 86 million people speak Cantonese as their first language.
