How these two languages compare, and what it means for your translations.
Kannada uses the Kannada script while German uses the Latin script. 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 German belongs to the Indo-European 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 between these two.
Both languages follow subject-object-verb (SOV) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position in the sentence, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.
